[QUOTE="Stéphane Lenclud, post: 1110886, member: 140174"] Apparently [URL='http://www.dolby.com/us/en/technologies/dolby-digital-live.html']Dolby Digital Live[/URL] needs S/PDIF so it won't work over HDMI then? On there they say: "Dolby Digital delivers up to 5.1 discrete channels of high-quality surround sound for digital television, DVDs, and online streaming." So optical can do 5.1 through Dolby Digital. When I say 5.1 I mean any surround audio no matter which encoding/transport protocol you are using. I'm guessing consoles and BD players do support 5.1 (not upmix but actual surround) through HDMI. Surely PC games can also support some kind of surround through HDMI right? [/QUOTE]
