    hi guys

    i've got the Creative SB X-Fi Fatal1ty FPS PCI, 64MB, EAX Advanced HD 5.0, Front Panel,

    every thing works great.

    except sound from the optical input on the front panel at the front of the cpu ( this panel comes with the sound card and is connected properly) ,

    when i plug in headphones the front panel works fine, any ideas?

    Hi

    What is the optical input device you are using ? It seems odd that the headphone input in the breakout box is only a few mm below the optical in. Have you got anything to check the optical out ? If there both down unless the headphone socket is in use it would look like a possible hardware prob to me.

    I am guessing that you have gone through all the preloaded software for the different places to change settings etc. It may be worthwhile completely uninstalling all the creative bumpf and re-installing it (if you havent already) The last thing I would check is if its this the same in all modes ie game/entertainment/music creation ?
    Good luck

    went through all software options and saw nothing to enable or disable optical in or out, when i look in to the two optical connnection the red light on the optical out is on but the optical in is not, im try to hook up an x360 (which is optical out) into the optical in on the front bay, its not muted in the control panel either
