marketing jibberish. Braswell bitstreams HD audio just fine, many people have tested it
Braswell can passthrough HD Audio (DTS-HD and Dolby TrueHD) even on Windows 8.1?
Passthrough HD Audio didn't work on old baytrail (J1900/J2900) on Windows 8.1.
I'm interested in buy a Asrock N3150-ITX, but i have this doubt about the HD Audio.
This (DTS-HD, DD+ passthrough in Win 8.x) - was a Protected Audio Path issue. Netflix relies on it for DD+ passthrough, so does Win 8.x for DTS-HD. After about a year of fiddling, Intel coughed up the explanation; The DN2820 was set up to rely on Intel Management Engine for PAP. But they left out the HW to support the IME.
A large group of users reported finally getting passthrough working after Intel Trusted Execution Engine took over for IME -
BUT it also includes (or included - this might have been sorted in recent driver updates) installing GFX drivers 10.18.10.3958 - intended for the
D34010WYK(H). See Intel support thread
here .
Seeing how they got the ball rolling, I don't really see why DTS-HD passthrough shouldn't be supported with the new NUCs - at some point. Previous affairs and all documentation I've read, indicate that the harware supports this. With Windows.. Just make sure Intel Trusted Execution is actually enabled in bios, and the device is running fine in Windows. I'm not sure if it requires UEFI boot, but I would most definitely believe so.
@
nickr - please ease up the seemingly endless prodding of Windows and its usage. Millions of Kodi users run Kodi off Windows, and they all have their own reasons. You're a linux guy - great! Your contributions to the Kodi community are very much apperciated. Just please, don't knock everything else in this manner, its degrading to what still remains a
very large userbase-platform for Kodi.
