Hi guys, first post.
In the Control Panel I select Hardware and Sound. I then select Sound and click on Manage audio devices. The Sound dialog is displayed and on the Playback tab I can see a registered item for Speakers. If I select the Properties and then click the Custom tab there is a tickbox called S/PDIF Enable. But when I enable the tickbox the OK button is available but the Apply button is permanently disabled.
I'm using the optical-out connector from my on-board sound card into my external DVD/amp and it all works ok. It's just that everytime I reboot I have to go into the control panel and do the above to set the S/PDIF tickbox. This is on my own PC at home. I have full administration rights (supposedly). But why doesn't Vista allow me to use the Apply button to hopefully set the tickbox permanently? I'm using the Home Premium version.
