I have a P8Z77 Pro motherboard, and I'm trying to use the SPDIF audio jack to connect to a Home Theather. I have the Realtek HD Audio Manager installed from the motherboard, but I can't get it (or Windows) to detect that I connected the cable. This program detects any other cable connect fine, but not this SPDIF one. Or if I go Sounds -> Playback Devices in Windows, there's no information at all about this SPDIF, only the HDMI and Speakers.
How can I figure what is the issue (if it's the cable or the motherboard)?
Is this SPDIF connection supposed to be just plug and play?
1Downloading the driver in their site instead of using the one that came with the motherboard worked perfectly! – Danicco – 2015-03-04T22:49:39.443
