I just upgraded from a 8400 GS with SPDIF to a Asus EN GT430 last night. My goals were DTS-HD & Dolby-HD. After hours of playing with it, I only got audio once from Boxee (however not XBMC) in Ubuntu 10.10 following steps in the [Zotac 430 Anyone?] thread. It seems I have found that according to several posts on the forum Linux will not and cannot do Bitstreaming HD as of yet, and neither can Windows 7 (well not at least XBMC). Correct me if I'm wrong at this point.
So if that's true I would rather drop back to LPCM (NOT SPDIF, IEC958). Can I do this with the GT430 and Linux Live Dharma or should I return it for a GT220?
Details:
Denon AVR-1909
Intel DQ965GF mATX
C2D E6420
2 GB RAM
Asus ENG430
Microsoft MCE IR
Harmony 880
Poofy?
