Hello,
I have this configuration -
ASUS Maximus II formula with SupremeFX Audio card,
HIS ATI 4850,
LG Blu Ray writer (Exact model not available right now),
4GB Ballistix 800 DDR2,
Intel Q9650 quad core.
Video connected to Samsung HDTV via HDMI (through DVI to HDMI connector).
Audio connected via Optical to Denon 29xx receiver.
In this configuration WILL I EVER be able to get
(1) Dolby/DTS multichannel sound ??
(2) HD sound TrueHD/Master ???
I dont care what I have to do (LPCM mode or bitstreaming) as long as I get the multichannel sound. I play a DVD which has Dolby Digital soundtrack (verified by playing in a Sony DVD player and AVR shows 'Dolby Digital').
When I play the same DVD using Windows Media Player in the PC, the player decodes the audio correctly as it displays Dolby Digital in the screen bottom pane but my AVR shows only DVD Stereo.
What am I missing?
I see conflicting reports about SPDIF, some say it does only 2 channel stereo while others say it does Dolby/DTS too.
Please HELP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! too much invested here....
