## Questions & Answers

**Q: ouroboros**
A: The eternal cycle of destruction and new creation.

**Q: Can i input 7.1 or 5.1.2 (preferably via optical) into my pc for surround sound playback? i.e. through virtual surround sound?**
A: Thanks for asking.
If your input is 7.1 or 5.1.2, the answer is no.
If your input is stereo, the answer is yes.

First all optical (SPDIF) are two channel (stereo) period. All 5.1 or 7.1 sources thru optical are first compressed into 5.1 or 7.1 (encoded Dolby Digital/DTS) into 2 channel. It goes to a receiver with DTS or Dolby decoder back into 5.1 or 7.1 to the speakers.

Here is why the answer is no, if your input is in compress 5.1 or 7.1 (encoded), you need a decoder, the NBA-200U is not a decoder for Dolby Digital/DTS, for every audio encoder, there must be an audio decoder. If there is no decoder, when you playback, you will only hear buzzing noise.

If your input is stereo, it is not compressed and the NBA-200U will playback thru virtual Surround sound correctly.

**Q: Is there any way to get Dolby Digital Live or DTS Connect to work on this device?  I can't get surround sound when I'm playing games on my laptop.**
A: Dolby Digital and DTS are compressed formats, this device does not support compressed formats.

**Q: Are there any special drivers required for windows home server OS?**
A: Not really sure what do you mean by home server. I use it with Windows 7 x64 and it does not need any 3rd party drivers. The OS recognizes the device automatically, hope it helps

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by S***N on 4 August 2017*

Bought this for use in a Media Server and was able to configure each port individually or bridge them if needed. I'm currently using each port individually so that my home or my internet streaming can use/access my server and it's made a huge difference, no more pausing when streaming. Great product and I've always had excellent luck with Vantec products, this is just one more on my list. Thank you Vantec!
