I have an older P5E Deluxe mainboard that I'm having trouble with. All I want is the optical sound connector to work. But I can't seem to enable it in the software. It is running W7 Pro 64bit, and the sound max app that is supposed to make this thing work just crashes all the time.
How can I fix this? I've already tried reinstalling drivers etc, and now it's set to output 7.1 audio thru the 1/8 mini jacks.
Or should I just turn off the sound and buy a sound card and be done with it. I really only want the optical connection so it seems silly to buy a sound card for that but whatever.
Any advice is appreciated!
