[QUOTE="elsmandino, post: 993886, member: 111675"] Thanks for all that guys. I had a mess around with setting everything to LAV as suggested and everything is working really smoothly now. Atomic741 - I am glad I have found someone with the same amp on here. It seems pretty good but I am not sure that I am getting the best out of it with all the settings, both on the amp itself and in mediaportal. Could I possibly ask what settings you currently have? Homey - could you possibly clarify what you meant by: "Then don't use the bitstreaming option, and send untouched PCM through HDMI to the AMP and still enjoy HD Audio on your amp" Although I am a long time PC tinkerer, I really do not know too much about audio/video. Am I correct in thinking that PCM is where the PC would decode the audio and sends it to the amp for distribution whereas bitstreaming is where the raw audio is sent to the amp which then does both the decoding and distribution? If so, why is it important where the actual decoding happens? One other quick thing - I did read that Mediaportal Audio Renderer is recommended in the Codec section. What is this, exactly, and do I need it? Thanks again for all your help. [/QUOTE]
