Q3: Will PCM sound output through S/PDIF be just 2 channels even with

different analog output channels?

Answer:
The S/PDIF protocol specification (IEC-60958) can only carry 2-channel PCM data

or non-PCM AC3/DTS data. So, when a user selects PCM output for S/PDIF, the

Xonar sound card will always deliver 2 channel PCM data through the S/PDIF

output port.
