The card plays perfectly well using analog out, except from the audio
quality...
The audio works fine for about 5-10 minutes when using digital out.
After 5-10 minutes the sound disapears for some seconds and comes
back again. This behavior continues until the computer is rebooted. I
started to think that this was driver related. I have a spare Windows
disk for this computer as well and I decided to try if it worked
better in Windows. I have the same problem in Windows so that
eliminates the driver theory.
Could this really be hardware related? It doesn't matter if I use
coax or optical in either operating system.
I think that it is a bit odd to think that it should be hardware
related since it always works for about 5-10 minutes an then won't
work again until rebooted. The reboot part somewhat directs me to
hardware but why 5-10 minutes. It would last for seconds if it were
some kind of buffer problem.
My guess would be bad cable (does this happen with optical out only or
are you saying you have both coaxial digital audio and optical out?)
or your receiver just doesn't like the signal that the card is
outputting.
I have both optical and coax connected to different input sources on the
amp. I tend to not think that it is the amp since it works for 5-10
minutes after a reboot of the computer. I also don't think the cables
are to be blamed since I have tried both optical and coax with the same
result, it works for some minutes...
