S/PDIF will pass Dolby Digital and DTS, but none of the high-resolution audio formats on Blu-Ray (Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD High Resolution, and DTS-HD Master Audio). But, without a high-end receiver or amp and solid speaker setup, you won't hear much of a difference between them.

Actually some sound cards out there do a very good job at mixing your audio through their optical S/PDIF output. See Dolby Digital Live, that makes optical output from those sound card the premium audio solution for your PC. Obviously if you already have an A/V Receiver that does a good job at mixing your HDMI audio then Sound Cards...

Hi guys, thanks for you answers - I have fixed it now - I was being rather dumb.:oops: Having HDMI audio enabled via the NVIDIA driver DOES prevent PC volume control - but the NVIDIA driver DOES allow you to disable audio - thus re-enabling the analogue sound device and enabling volume control. But I had tried disabling the...

Just found out that there is a Diamond card that might work perfect. It uses a cmedia chip, and there are some open source drivers that are suppose to make it work really good. Plus its only $30 here is a description of the open source drivers: This project aims at developing drivers for C-Media 8738 / 8768 based soundcards...

I think you can't do anything about it, except re-encode all your 44,1khz material to 48khz or the other way around through software. Many people do this, because software makes a better job in resampling. Well, your soundcard does it on the fly, so what do you expect..... For players like MPC to be able to switch the output-rate...

MP1 MP2 Buying a new AVR - Sony or Onkyo? (1 Viewer) DE
Impressions: First of all, the sound is much better than with the Pioneer I had to replace, surely because of the higher output specs. This might also be because of some processing to allow full surround feeling even at lower levels that I'm using. I had this on an older, non-HDMI Pioneer that I loved, and they called the setting...

x2. What kiwi said! If you want HD audio, and a more-than adequate GFX card, definitely go with the new ATI 5670 (i'm their new poster boy) and guess what? It's less than $100 for each manufacturer on newegg! Seriously, you can't go wrong with that deal...

Sure. Let me know if you run into any kind of a dead end. Can be overwhelming sometimes with all its possibilities... I'll attach the part of my config with the lav stuff.

It is worth noting that it won't decode Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus and DTS-HD Master Audio, but it will pass through analog LPCM 7.1. LPCM is as good as if not better than the other formats, but isn't available on all releases (not sure of the number). In an ideal world it would be possible to buy a decoder for the other HD...

I don't use it due to the sound from my LCD being pretty terrible, but I have tried passthrough (using my Yamaha RX-V1065) before. Basically, from memory, the problem is that your TV can't decode it. Unfortunately if you want to get the sound working in passthrough mode, you'll need to set ffdshow to transcode AC3 to something else.

I bought one of these a while back for $10, but just got around to actually installing it in a build (Pentium-4 MP client). Works fine. Almost exactly like the old inexpensive ChainTech card.
