I have a Acer AX1700 desktop. I recently reinstalled Windows XP home edition and trying to connect the computer to my Dennon audio receiver through the optical digital cable. It doesn't appear to be going through but I am able to get other audio (dvd playter) to output through the same connection on my Dennon. Is there a driver or software I require to push the audio out of the optical digital output? Please let me know. ... - posted in PC Laptops

Sounds like a bad file . I would consider reinstalling windows. When it starts up, for a new install, it will find your existing OS and ask it you want it repaired, say yes then it wil repair it and leave al you data as is.

If you use his disk, that will be better, because if it is original HP disk, it should install all original drivers at all, however this may delete all files on the computer depending on the type of installation you do.

Installing an older version of XP home does not make a big difference , as windows will update the system using automatic updates. What must be done, is ensuring that all proper drivers are installed.

Check device manager, in control panel/system, and see if all devices are installed with proper drivers.

Uninstall the driver, and then click Scan for hardware changes to reinstall or upgrade the driver.
