What does the rest of your system look like? Do you have your computer hooked up to a receiver via SPDIF?

If you are using your computer to decode the DTS CD, then it depends on the software you are using. Cyberlink's PowerDVD, for example, has a built-in DTS decoder that will have no problems handling your DTS CD.

If you are trying to get the DTS information from your CD-ROM to your receiver via a digital connection then it gets trickier. I've had limited success with this.

You shouldn't have any problems. Your speakers are analog so all of the processing would be done by software on your computer. Just make sure you use a program that can decode Dolby Digital, such as PowerDVD.
