SPDIF not working on mobo

I have a gigabyte GA-K8N Ultra-9 mobo. Which has SPDIF out (coaxial).

My 'home theatre in a box' has an optical in. So i bought a coaxial to optical converter. Plugged it in.

But i'm not getting any sound. And when i go to the system tray icon, double click it, and look at the realtek configuration its saying nothing is plugged into the SPDIF output. The converter came with a power supply, its definitely on. And I can hear intermittent 'computer noise' coming through the speakers, so something is firing....

Any ideas? I have no idea why its not working. I can't find anything in the bios to activate it or whatever.
 
when you right click the speaker and choose playback devices is the SPDIF box greyed out? Make sure its set to default device by right clicking on it.
