Hello, infodrive
Well Actually i Dont have front output on my pc. Its simply not wired to the mainboard.
One more thing i forgot to mention before is that to be able to transmit the RDS signal you also must DISABLE all on board equalizers and procesisngs. If you enable some of them, the RDS simply Stops to function.
You CAN use all kinds of music software like Winamp, Sam BC and their processors and equalisers without stopping the RDS. However I suggest you to use the ones from StereoTool.
Maybe hvz (Hans) can throw up a nice suggestion for you.
P.s. If you have only the default windows sound drivers, be sure to install also the ones from the cd of your mainboard (Laptop in your case).
If you have any problems or questions, feel free to post I will try to help..
