    Has anyone got s/pdif (through the dock) working in XP? The only option available in the Sound Playback default device drop-down menu in Sounds and Audio Devices in Control Panel is Soundmax HD Audio..no spdif option.

    I've read more than a few times that s/pdif is definitely available in Vista, so am wondering if it's just the corresponding XP driver that's no good. I'd really rather not change from XP to 7 over this if I don't have to. Any input would be highly appreciated.

    Machine is a T60 fwiw using the the advanced mini dock.
