Vortex 2 (Xitel Storm Platinum)! NEED HELP W/ SPDIF AND DVD
Okay, i have the Xitel storm platinum and release Win2k. Up until today, i thought the S/PDIF being disabled was part of the drivers. But there was a thing on the hardware compatablity page about S/PDIF and the how to enable it.

First, what are the EXACT commands i need to add to my registry. The ones on the webpage seemed wrong to me (i wondered about the spaces in them).?
Secondly, if i do this, will i be able to use my software DVD player to output to my reciever and thus give me Dolby Digital like i had before in Win98?

Hello dfennig,
Your problem interest me as I have an Aureal w/ optical output. I don't know if our machines can be compared but what I know is that I can enable the output by using DVDGenie (latest version) on WinDVD 2000.
An option in DVDGenie allows you to enable or disable S/PDIF.
So I check the little box and S/PDIF works just fine with DVDs.
Just go to this site (maybe it can be of some help, if you don't know it already):

Have you pressed THE F1 key lately ??
I will be sincere and tell you that I know this works with WinDVD. The tabs in DVDGenie are applications-specific: in other words, CineMaster, WinDVD, PowerDVD, Xing etc. can more or less be "finetuned" with DVDGenie...
If I had to give an answer, I'd say: download DVDGenie, and try it on your system ... WinDVD 2000 is great, good-looking. (But I bet other apps are too...). If it worked under win9x, why not under W2K, huh ?
