However, there may be times when you wish to transmit more than two channels of audio over the S/PDIF link. This is where compressed audio can be used. Audio compression is a technique used to transmit equivalent information using fewer bits. This is done through a number of techniques. Some techniques, referred to as perceptual coding, take advantage of the fact that humans can only hear certain sounds. These methods of compression usually involve discarding bits that only contribute a minimal amount to what a listener needs to recognize a given sound. Other methods take advantage of numerical redundancies in the signal in order to effectively transmit the same information in a smaller amount of space. Dolby Digital and DTS are two common types of compression. Regardless of the technique, compression enables a digital audio signal to use fewer bits to transmit the audio.
The result of this compression is that it enables you to transmit the content for up to 5.1 channels of audio over S/PDIF in space that would have only fit 2 channels if the audio had been uncompressed. This is great once the signal has been encoded (synonymous with compressed), but once a signal has been encoded, that same signal must also be decoded after it has been received so that it can be sent to speakers. This means that your receiver must be capable of decoding the compressed audio signal in order for you to hear the correct sound. This is the tradeoff necessary to allow you to transmit more than two channels of audio over S/PDIF.
Another direct consequence of transmitting a compressed audio signal instead of an uncompressed audio signal (more commonly known as PCM) is that the volume of that signal cannot be modified once it has been encoded. Because the bits in an encoded signal no longer directly correspond to the volume of that signal, it is impossible to increase the volume until it is decoded. This explains why your PC cannot control the volume of your sound when you are using Dolby Digital or DTS as the output. The connected device will be the only place where the volume can be changed.
To recap, in order to avoid the electrical interference and noise present on an analog connection, consider using S/PDIF to transmit the signal digitally. If you'd like to transmit more than two channels, consider sending encoded content which allows you up to 5.1 channels over S/PDIF. You may also want to consider HDMI, but that's a post for another time!
