Is it possible with xbmcbuntu? Or do I have to go the Windows7 route?
If you posted your hardware specs you could get a better reply.

yes, passthrough is supported. If also HD audio passthrough is supported depends on your hardware.
I have a similiar question
Just wrote in into another thread, but nobody answers...
Will it be possible to bitstream HD Audio (DTS HDMA or Dolby TrueHD) via an ION2 platform? Maybe a Zotac IONITX S-Series oder U-Series?
Hi uNi...
Please appologise if this is a noob question, but what du you mean with "IIRC"?
The user "Vicbitter" answered me on my PN, that it is i.e. possible with a Zotac IONITX S-Series.
Thanks
Cheers
IIRC it stands for If I Recall Correctly......
all i want to work is spdif passthrough dolby digital and dts using optical or coaxial none successful both frodo and eden use directsound method but i needed w32 waveout to get mine to work using xp.

Thank you
And....does he recall right?
Maybe I´m a little bit scared of bying new hardware for nothing if it won´t work, you know...
Some people in german forums told me, it will never work under linux, some guys here got it to work flawelessly, but I never read about a working ION2 Plattform. The User Direx got it working with an Intel boad IIRC
I always read something like "eventually" or "might be" but never a "yes....with this hardwarre it will work like a charme"
I have different options:
- buying a new board (i. e. the Zotac IONITX S-Series)
or
- buying another graphic card (Zotac GT430) (my old Zotac ION F-Series has a slot for that)
or
- bying a recommended hardware (Mini ITX Boards preferred), if somebody is sure, that it will work with that
So I´m a little bit confused
What might be the best way?
Cheers and merry Christmas

Your question can be answered for sure if you email the manufacturer of the product before you buy.
As long as you ask specific questions and are not vague or confusing.
uNi.
ok...and what questions do I have to ask ;-)
How about if they will give you a free box?
A good start would be if you actually understudy what bit-streaming is and HD audio is.
You can also ask nvidia in addition of the product manufacturer, along with a link to product and what you want to do, your equipment etc.
Im not sure if I should laugh or cry with your Q, but so sure is rating up there in the
WTF meter

Thanks for helping, and I´m not gonna ask you anymore!
But for so long...I know what bitstreaming and HD-Audio is. But I don´t know how it works. Must I? So I don´t know what "specific" questions I do have to ask.
You can laugh, if you want...doesn´t matter anymore! There are other users in this forum who are more interessted in spending some time to help others
Maybe my english isn´t that good, so some might get me wrong and sometimes I don´t understand every shortcut, but do you have to answer like this?
Have a nice time
