Re: PCM Digital stereo passed to surround reciever = horrid ringing

What is the motherboard on your PC ?? Go into the audio settings and turn off all processing of sound including equalization. I have a NVidia NForce2 motherboard with what is supposed to be great sound. NOT! Everything I have tried to process the sound creates some type of subtle to gross distortion. There are too many different processors that can feed the Digital stream before it gets to the digital out jack. Find every source of sound manipulation and set them to flat or off.. Mine has SRS, two different places where there is EQ and too many different sliders that can mix mics, CD player sound, midi and the likes. Turn em all OFF. You need an unmanipulated PCM stream for your receiver to work properly. Then turn off all the processing on you receiver and only when you get clean 2-channel stereo should you attempt to remanipulate the signal into something else with the receivers DSP chips if you don't like the original sound. Good luck.
