[QUOTE="Allan Stevens, post: 956940, member: 129402"] Just to put this thread to a close, on advice from posts above. I picked up a amd hd 6450 2gb, installed last night, and fixed the issue!! :) Although as a result of the upgrade I got some new issues, now fixed, I hope posting might help others. First issue was pixilation on the BBC HD channels, I was using the latest drivers from the ASUS website, but that was Dec 2011!! So upgraded the very latest drivers from AMD and have not seen any pixels since (hope it lasts) also i'm sure the picture quality has improved. [SIZE=3]The other issue was a little more [/SIZE]complicated. I use a hdmi scaler to allow me to have a composite video and splits the sound to toslink. Unfortunately the new card correctly detects that my Samsung TV only supports pcm 2.0, so i don't get the option for ac3, dts, etc. So with a LOT of googling i came across the EDID Override Thread on AVforums. Tulli is a superstar, he created a custom edid override inf for me, and now I have ac3 and dts back! [url]http://www.avsforum.com/t/1091403/edid-override-thread/2400#post_22836887[/url] [/QUOTE]
