Hello,

I recently bought a Skullcandy PLYR1 headset with Dolby Digital 7.1 surround sound, but it won't work. On Xbox it works fine, but when I plug it in my pc it only plays generic USB sound. It has an optical cable. Here's a screenshot of what devices my pc recognizes:

As you can see there are two devices, the first one is from the USB connection and the second one is from the optical connection, but the USB connection is the only one that seems to be producing any sound, and it's only mono. Does anyone know how I can let it output through the optical connection?

Thanks in advance.

I rolled back my SPDIF drivers, rebooted, then updated my drivers again. Now the SPDIF output does work.

That isn't the problem. I can select the optical device but that won't play any sound. The USB device does play sound but that's only mono. The headset should show up on the optical device as Dolby Digital or something similar but it doesn't as you can see from the photo.

I need it to use the optical device but I can't figure out how.

On the first device, I can configure but that's only mono because it's the usb connection. My headset is connected via usb for power and optical for for sound, but that one's not playing any sound.
Also, onn the optical device I can't configure for some reason, but 5.1 surround sound is an option.

Any other ideas?
