I have ubuntu 8.04. I output dd and dts via spdif to my receiver. However, I think there may be a difference in quality between passthrough on linux and passthrough on windows. Dialog and loud effects seem harsher in linux. I was wondering if there was something within linux and/or xbmc that resampled or reencoded the audio.
I accept that this quality difference may only be in my head, and that I am imagining the whole thing. However, I would like assurance that nothing is happening to my audio before it reaches my receiver.
I have a chaintech 7.10 sound card, and this post from a couple years ago scared me: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthrea...ight=spdif
