Im using the onboard sound on my new shuttle sn95g5, putting the spdif out into my home cinema receiver.
Now when there are no sounds playing, and then a sound starts to play, you wont hear the first 1/2 second of what is played. So half the windows sounds you only hear the tail end.
Im pretty sure this isnt a problem with my reciever as i have tried both the optical and coaxial outputs of the shuttle and have been using the coaxial output on my audigy on my old pc until 2 days ago without fault.
There is no such delay on the headphone socket on the front.
I have tried the nforce drivers that came with my shuttle, and some new 6.14 beta drivers. I also tried the specific realtek drivers for the codec. No luck.
Am i the only one with this problem? is there a way to fix it or should i just invest in a seperate sound card, using up my 1 free pci. I'd really prefer to stick to spdif/digital connection if i can because i have this reciever and it sounds so much better with spdif.
