Hi,
I have a HP Pavilion dv6000 series notebook and I could use some opinions here. Apparently there is a problem with the HD Conexant Integrated Audio Card and hp.
I have the Boston Acoustics BA735 series 2.1 speakers. Have had two sets. I love them and refuse to get another pair of speakers. Anyways for those that arent aware of them, back on XP you had to get a digital soundcard (which i did on my emachine desktop) soundblaster audiogy 29.99. I put this in, and checked digital sound box in xp sound options. Sounded great. The desktop was stolen so i bought this hp and it does support spdif toslink on the front but the way the speakers are set up is a coaxial digital end goes to the sub and on the other end you plug it into a 3.5mm jack. However, I do this and I get no sound. I suppose it is because the card only supports optical and this is coaxial. Can anyone recommend an external sound card that is digital like the old internal soundblaster live audiogy? For instance it does not have to have a coaxial input on it. It just needs to support digital sound where i can plug in the coaxial digital to the sub and on the other end to the sound card just to the aux in or line in? or of course a coaxial input would work to? i know the old quickdock has a coaxial port on it but not sure if that will work.
Any ideas? Worked fine with a desktop running xp and a cheap internal soundblaster live card on xp assuming you checked digital only box in windows but with vista you do not have that option and after all the research i have done, it appears my output on the hp notebook only supports optical which wont work. I need an external digital card. Anyone else ran into this or have a suggestion?
