Asus p5q-e mobo, vista64, soundmax, no digital output to receiver

Hi all. Just got a new computer. Vista 64, Asus Mobo p5q-e with soundmax. Trying to use digital output to my Sony reciever... no sound. I get sound using line out to R&L on receiver and have tested receiver digital in to make sure it works.

I downloaded latest Asus Soundmax drivers as well.

I set it as default as well.

Under windows/control panel/sound, it shows as stereo, no sound output with test.

I downloaded and installed vista codec (32 and 64), not that I thought it would help...lol

Anyone have this problem or have any suggestions?

No-one answered me on this forum so I posted in another one and got an answer there. Have a look at ASUSTeK Computer Inc.-Forum- Vista 64, P5Q-E, EAH3450, no sound using mobo digital output. It may help you get your issue resolved.
