    I used to have 5.1 Surround sound on my desktop pc via optical out spdif using dolby digital live which converted the analogue sound so that my amp could receive it.

    With the laptop how do it do this? It uses a creative sound software suite but I can't see DD live anywhere. The laptop is an MSI GS60 and supports spdif and hdmi. I know the consoles do it but somehow I don't think it's quite so simple on PC :-(
