1) Launch VLC and click on the "Tools" menu and select "Preferences".
2) Once on the "Preferences" page select the "Audio" tab on the left hand side of the page.
3) Place a check mark next to "Enable audio" and "Use S/PDIF when available". For the "Force detection of Dolby Surround" setting choose Auto and under the "Output" section, choose "Win32 waveOut extension output" as output type. The rest of the settings are optional.
4) Restart VLC and your done.
What about using DAC output? I have an external sound card that Vista detects, but when I play a DVD (Batman Begins) the center channel doesn't work. (Yet, strangely, all others do.) Though I have a 7.1 card, I'm using 5.1 speakers, and the center/sub connection is the same. The speakers are Logitech X-540s, and the Sound Card is the Sabrent USB 7.1 CH 3D External Sound Pocket.
