Hello everybody! I have a VGX XL1 and it has Windows 7 professional 32 bit, GT 1030 videocard and 4Gb RAM.I tried to conect it to my receiver Via SPDIF ou and realize i have no SPDIF out option at playing devices or multichanel option at sigmatel HD audio. I have a second VGX XL1 with Windows XP and SPDIF out works perfect and have multichanel option as well.
Has anyone else lost SPDIF out or multichanel after evolving to Windows 7? If so, how can i solve this? I tried updating driver but it didnt work, maybe i am not getting the right driver.I will appreciate any help. Thanks in advance!

I haven't opened my VGX up in a while but I would make sure that the SPDIF out isn't required to be connected to the old video card. I think all of the extra video inputs, and outputs on the VGX connected to stock video card. Why not bitstream audio via HDMI? What kind of AVR do you have? If it is a yamaha, there is a known issue where the NVIDEA graphics driver bugs out and won't complete HDMI handshakes because Yamaha AVRs are detected as a repeater. IF you don't have a yamaha then maybe things will be fine. I also have a GT1030 but its not in my VGX. I have the video card connected directly to the TV because I use that machine as a Steam server, and I rarely have to look at the screen.

Hello Jachin99:
Thanks for the reply! Well, my VGX is connected to an old Sony Str DE 885 wich didnt have HDMI in those times but did have a 4 or 5 Toslink input /output. The receiver works perfectly and i like the sound it produces. With my old VGX (the one with XP) works like a charm and it decodes up to 7.1 chanels.
In the second VGX (Windows 7) if i check the Dolby Digital Live option the sound gets distorted (very) and the speed of the sound idles, i mean becoms slow pitch. Besides theres no S PDIF icon or option in Reproduction devices. Een in the Sony TV HDMI connection properties, i get in to speaker cnfiguration and theres only STEREO option, no 5.1no 7.1 .
Tried swaping HDD between both VGX but the one with the Windows 7 HDD is missing the multichanel /toslink option.
Will appreciate very much if someone can tell me if have been trough this same issue or not after instaling Windows 7. Thanks a lot!
