Hi Guys
I am a XBMC Virgin I have been browsing the forums for a few hours now and Im starting to get confused so hopefully if I ask you guys one or more will be able to answer my question.
Before I start I'd like to thank for the XBMC Staff for all there hard work, without you Id be using a crappy standalone jitty media player
OK here goes, I want DTS sound.. Now I have no idea what is required I will tell you what I got and hopefully your tell me what i need or if it cant be done.
HARDWARE:
LCD: Toshiba 42xv635db has dolby digital plus decoder built in..
AUDIO OUTPUT: Optical
PC: Acer Revo 3600 1GB RAM 160GB HDD, has 2GB Ram upgrade
AUDIO OUTPUT: HDMI, 3.5mm Headphone Jack
SPEAKER SYSTEM: TECHNICS
INPUT: 6 Analog Phono Sockets, FR-FL CENTER BR-BL Subwoofer
OUTPUT: 6-8 Speakers
My Questions
XBMC Live 9.11B: Does this support DTS over HDMI? I have seen many posts with regards of the latest nvidia drivers not working, but this was 2months ago since hte post was made and this is the new beta.
Dobly Digital Plus: Am I right in saying my TV can decode DTS, Dolby Digital to the optical out? Meaning I just need an AMP? AMG Confused.
MONEY: What do I need to throw away and buy to get this too work the stereo is abit outdated but id prefer to use it if it means saving money. But if its useable then fair enough.
I been looking on ebay for the past few hours, Im confused what I need asuming that XBMC does support what im after.
PLEASE HELP!!! :
