Hi konaing,

are you having an issue with your sound card & edifier S530 ?

why need a receiver?since your sound card & speakers can be
connected via digital connections as you want to have a loss-less
sound reproduction.

then it only shows that even having a digital amp,will not
compensate with your analog speakers.

1. your S530 has a built-in amplifier.
2. if ever you have a digital amp,no way to connect it via digital connections.
3. even it does,you might have a problem matching the wattage and empedance.

a). though you have an 8 inch subwoofer,it is still a PC speaker which i believe
3.0 to 3.8 ohms or so.
b). amplifiers normally have 4 to 8 ohms & up to 16 ohmic values.

so,you dont want to blow up your SUB(s),right?

if you really care for a good sounding through digital connections
(PC to AMP to speakers),likewise maximizing the functionality of
your sound card.a digital amplifier and a set of good speakers will
do.

on your sound card's sound manager,try the settings/configuration.
try to find if you can see the SPDIF connection switch,normally it has
a radio button or a check box and tick it.or something that says all
about digital connections.apply the settings and try the sound,
