Well this sucks. I was just loving my new Denon receiver with my Prelude sending optical out, and all of a sudden I notice that it sounds horrible. I thought it was the new driver that I recently installed, so I tried reinstalling with no luck.
I tried installing the card in my wife's PC and testing and it sounds the same.
Sooooo...I think the optical out is done for. The analog sounds great, but that's not going to suit me well.
To make matters worse, it only has a 1 year warranty. What kind of crap is that? Has anyone dealt with Auzentech on RMAs?
I read that if you bought a card after July 1 2008 and register online (I registered, but bought mine in 02/2008) you get a 1 year extension on your warranty.
So it looks like I will have a $200 paperweight (unless someone wants to buy it at a discount that uses analog only.)
What's really lame is that I've only been using the optical out for ~1 month.
