For the longest time I could get DD and DTS from dvd's with my sb live platinum and an optical cable but EAX sucked. I resolved this by using (3) 1/4" to L/R Rca adapters. Connected from sound card outputs (line out, rear out, and the center/sub channel that doubles as the DIN jack) to the discrete (separate) 5.1 analog input on my reciever. Now my reciever decodes DD & DTS streams via optical cable, and my sb decodes eax & a3d. I now get true 3d eax sound. Sound comes from each speaker separately. When a sound source is behind me it really is behind me.
