Can i use true 5.1 through optical for my turtle beach px5 with this card?

yes you should be able to do a PCM pass thru using the optical port on this, though keep in mind that basically means none of the signal processing is done locally on the card... In other words if that is all you are going to use it for you can accomplish the same thing with a much cheaper card, or with on board audio if there is an optical port.

if you connect your TV(the optical Output) to "Digital to Analog Audio Decoder"in the optical input and then connect your speakers to "Digital to Analog Audio Decoder" to the analog outputs work in 5.1,if you want to connect the TV directly to the speakers, your speakers should have optical input and yes works in 5.1

No you will not be able to. I suggest getting turtle beaches to hear actual gameplay. I bought this product and they are a rip off! Do not buy this, you will regret it! They don't work!

Hello, the truth in the specifications of the card only refers to 5.1 is silent in relation to speakers 7.1, I use it with Ligitech 5.1 speakers, I think you should find another model that is more specific, I put a link here; you can check this model that is compatible with 7.1 speakers:Creative Sound Blaster Audigy PCIe RX 7.1 Sound Card with High Performance Headphone Amp

Not sure what you mean by True Dolby. In my set up my Yamaha receiver only supports 2 Toslink inputs and I needed to support 3 devices. Currently have my Xbox One, PS4 and 360 converging at this point and outputting to my receiver through a single line. My receiver recognizes all devices as having 5.1 surround. Recognizes DTS and Dolby through the switch.

Thank for your inquiry. The answer is no. Your TV can not transmit 5.1 channel audio from an HDMI digital source through the Optical connection.

There is an optical out on the Xbox if that what your using it for. Ps4... no idea

This does not come with an optical output. You have to purchase the fiber optic cable made specifically for the X Box 360 which comes with the needed adapter in order for this cable to output Dolby Digital 5.1 sound.

Yes can. As others said, you'll just have to use a different port for them. This card is amazing and quite and If you're only using it for everyday stuff, it will run just fine. It'll put out 4k resolution as well

Sure does. I throw 5.1 PCM via my PS3 over HDMI all day long at this Onkyo and you can matrix it to Dolby EX, THX select cinema 2, and others for your 7.1 sound.

I couldn't get my optical in to work at all, you're asking a lot of this cheap dated little card. I returned mine. I wish you the best of luck on this one. My hope is to save you the trouble of an RMA.

Yes it does, 100% solidly so! I am running this card with a Logitech Z906 audio system, and it does both 5.1 and 7.1 audio with this card..Very well I might add....you have to try it to believe it, and for its' price range it kills all the other cards by a zillion miler.Wavey Davey - 11-24-2014

John's right. I used mine as the convertor from PS3 optical to 5.1 surround. My surround had rca type inputs, no optical. Use this box to convert optical output to stereo, but if your surround box has optical input, this box isn't needed.

Well its 7.1 surround sound but it works on 5 I suggest being able to support that at least

Yes! 5.1 still works fine, I haven't tested 7.1 but I expect the original audio stream is passed straight through so anything that works over HDMI should work through the box.

If you are looking to just hear your game then you can plug in the headset and listen in 2.1 audio. As previously stated by Mbhammerbro. But that's strictly it. If you want something thats built for Xbox 360 and is a Razer product, then I would suggest the Razer Chimaera 5.1 Headset. As a forewarning, if you are specifically seeking 7.1 Surround sound, I would recommend looking into Turtle Beach as I am unaware of any 7.1 compatabile headsets developed by Razer that work with Xbox. Hope that helps!

Yes. You should do so - and uninstall all drivers for the onboard audio - before installing the card. I guess technically you shouldn't have to, but everything I've read about the card suggests it won't work right if you don't.
