is it possible to do bitstreaming from optical

[mrcola]

Hi I'm after solutions to achieve audio pass through under Windows

Basically I bought a cheap Creative USB sound card which has optical input enabled.

I want to pass the digital audio from something like Apple TV optical through the creative USB soundcard and send it to my BOSE C5

Is it possible to do with Shark007

Thanks a lot Regards RW

My software supports optical bitstreaming but the audio source would need to be PC based so it can be processed, not from an external source.

I dont see the point of sending anything to the PC- Go direct from your AppleTV to the audio receiver.

Windows 7 can not directly use an input, this is only possible via the recording function of the sound card.
Here is an example of how this works with my Realtek sound card about "listening":
