Usually this can be caused by a cable that is not properly plugged into the Toslink connector. Please check the connection and make sure the tip of the optical cable is clean. If this does not help, please exchange the cable to a different type / brand. Q : After installing the sound card and connecting it to my surround sound system using S/PDIF output, keyboard and Control Panel adjustments to Volume and Balance either do not work or have minimal affect. Is that normal? A : With Digital Audio output, output levels are controlled by the wave volume settings. Multimedia keyboards and remote controls only adjust the master volume. The third-party application “Volume Tracker” corrects the situation by linking wave volume and master volume. Volume Tracker is compatible with Windows 2000, XP and Windows Media Center.
