hi guys computer/reciever question here... i have a denon avr 884 home reciever and a hp a832n compter.... my computer has a digital in and out on the rear panel, i had this hooked up through my denon reciever a while back and worked fine, now i cant get it to work, any ideas on what happened??? i have it hooked from the digital audio out. and into the coaxial digital audio in on the back of my reciever...is there possible some setting on my computer that has changed???? or is there any way of resetting the memory on my reciever back to factory settings, and then try to figure it out from there, i know this is mostly for car audio but thought maybe i could get some info here. tried called denon hq but they were closed. called hp and had a foriegn sir that i could barely understand help me, and seemed as everything is good there.

i cant think of anything that ive changed, i added a new keyboard that has internet buttons and such that has software that i had to install... but i tried to hook my dvd player in through the same coaxial hook up and didnt get any audio but if i use the digital optical cable it works fine. so im not too sure, its probably a setting on the reciever but i cant find it if that is the case, i need to contact denon tomorrow and see what they have to say, maybe the coaxial port went bad, but i doubt it because the unit has not moved since i placed it here, and everything esle works fine so im kinda stumped,

The sound card usually has a stereo 1/8" (3.5mm) female jack. Have you tried moitoring the soundcar output with a pair of headphones? If you have output to headphones here, then you have audio out to feed into your Denon receiver. If NO sound in headphones, something is wrong with card or software that drives it. Try reinstalling the software that pertains to that card. It may be corrupt or just not a default card now.
Got to have audio output signal to feed your Denon.

my pc has built in 5.1 stereo jack on the back which are the small pins, but it also has the coaxial plug in(digital audio in/out), the size of rca cable. the thing used to work before but i dont know whats differnt from then till now... i think i might try a digital coaxial to digital optical converter and just run of a toslink... i tried runnin my dvd player with has both coaxial and optical auido, when hooked through the optical cable works, when i use the coaxial it dont work.... i have made sure i have the appropiate mode setup for coaxial, i have it running as the cdr slot on my reciever so whatever i have hooke through the coaxial i have to have the reviever on cdr but still dont work.... i noticed that when things are hooked to it, it stays on analog.but coaxial is a digital input so it shouldnt say that, should switch to digital... thanx for the help so far guys.
