Digital sound output.

[Claubk]

What sound settings do I need to use to get the digital feed from my pc to my reciever. The sound is lagging when I choose s/pdif? (sound set up via coax cable, worked before upgrade)

I upgraded my sound drivers (sb live) and VLC ,and prior to that I had no trouble getting the feed through, but I had help witht the VLC settings, and now ive forgotten what I did to make it work. Maybe using win32wave output, but only chosing that didnt work, so what else do I need to do. When playing a movie, I still get the sound feed through to my reciever, soundcard set up to digital only, but im still able to choose stereo menues on the reciever, which I shouldnt be if the thing worked. Then I would only get dolby or DTS menues available. So whats wrong with my settings? Right now, ive got the win32wave set as ouput, but still getting stereo feed, which sucks for a costly 5.1 surround setup.

Help.
