What cable are you using? It has to be coax...not toslink. Also, what machine are we talking about here? What OS?

Digital coax cable to coax/toslink converter to toslink. Machine is a 2007-64U T60 running XP Pro.

I don't use XP any longer. In XP, you should go to control panel>sounds and audio devices>[Tab]Audio->Sound plackback->Default devicevinuneuro wrote:Where do you see this? Here's a screen shot of what I've got:

It is a drop list where you should find the the optioin:Digital Audio (S/PDIF). Set it as the Default device and there you go.

SPDIF is not listed there. Must be an XP driver issue.

Just wanted to update. It seems that with XP you just plug-in the cable and go. Just remember to enable S/PIF pass-through in whatever decoder you're using.
