I recently purchased a fiber Optic cable to hook my PC up to my Receiver. However, the sound quality is noticeably worse. The music often sounds flat, faint, distant, unbalanced and lacking the richness that I get from my cd player, which is also hooked up to my receiver.
My sound card is Realtek HD and my receiver is a Denon, but before the days of HDMI (if that even makes a noticeable difference). Most of my digital music is in wav format. I've attempted to fiddle with the equalizer, bass and treble on my receiver, but the improvement is only marginal. Any suggestions?
