 Didn't work for me December 11, 2007

I found getting 5.1 surround sound out of my computer and into my AV receiver to be a difficult process. I needed to go USB out to SPDIF in on the receiver. I was never able to get this device to work. I've returned it and bought a Creative Soundblaster Live which works great.
My theory as to the problem is this: according to Creative, the analog output must be 5.1 channel, and it must be disabled for the digital passthrough to work. The Soundblaster has its own control panel in which to enable/disable the analog.
This device runs off the Generic Windows Audio driver, and does not have its own control panel. It has a stereo analog output for headphones, which cannot be disabled.
I did get fine 2 channel sound out of it, but never 5.1. I don't know if the fact that the PC is running Vista had anything to do with my problem.
The actual manufacturer of this device by the way, is SIIG. Their website is almost as unhelpful as Cables to Go's.
I've given it 2 stars because it must work for someone, and I can't be sure there wasn't something else going on with my system. I can say with great assurance however that there are much better solutions out there.

This product is useful if you wish to connect your laptop to your home audio system. The USB/optical interface eliminates the need of utilizing the 3.5mm mini stereo plug audio output common with inexpensive laptop computers. The adapter ships with a Toslink and USB cable, the combined length of which is approximately 3m. Any open USB port may be used. Included is DVD software. With Windows XP the product self-installed.
