SB Live S/P-DIF output question

[Gambler FEX online 0]

I heard the SB live s/p-dif output voltage level is +/-5v (TTL level) instead of s/p-dif standard of +/- 500mV level.

 

I found this out very late, and by then my receiver has been broken (skips and beeps when I play off DTS source).

 

If I buy a Hoontech s/p-duf addon card or a sp-dif addon card from Creative Labs, will either of them have correct s/p-dif output voltage?

 

Or do they just pass through the original signal?

 

 

Thanks!

I don't know about the difference in voltage output - however - what I can say is that I've had no problem whatsoever in connecting the cards SPDIF output to my SONY DAT recorder. You may have a problem with the piece of equipment you're connecting to - or it may not be compatable with the output from your Live card.

 

Hope this helps a little,

 

Damien.

I mailed hoontech.com and they said their add-on sp-dif brackets for the SB Live! has the standard +/- 500mV level s/p-dif output.
