Can anyone tell me how to get sound bitstreamed to my receiver in windows 7? My setup:
Hardware:
Mobo: Asus E35M1-I
Video: Radeon HD 6310
Sound: Realtek ALC892
HDMI 1.3b cable carrying Video and Audio to my 7.1 Receiver.
Software:
Windows 7 Ultimate
K-Lite Codec Guide x32 + x64
Latest AMD and Realtek drivers
XBMC 10.1 Dharma
If I need better software I am willing to buy it, I just want to get this working.

EDIT: I had it the other way around. I don't know about your hardware, but I know that when I recently built my pc I made sure to get the nvidia gt430 becuase it specifically mentions that it can bitstream audio. There were no settings to tinker with it just worked right away through xbmc. Also make sure windows recognises that you have 7 channels. Go to the sound settings and set your speakers to 7 channels. Then play the test tone and you'll know how many speakers windows recognised.

Hi morikaweb
You dont need to buy anything new, Bitstreaming works in W7 with your HW without problems. I have the same board.
It is just that XBMC doesn´t support it.
So get it working in MPC-HC with help of ffdshow Audio decoder and then use MPC-HC as external player.
