Well, I installed my tower with FX8150 and 990FX chipset and gtx430 video card. I also installed the realtek drivers. The default udio shows my VSX-53 as my output device and it supports every single HD audio format. When I look at the spec sheet, there are only 3 supported formats listed, none of which are HD. I alos looked at the Realtek driver and the same thing. Do I need to install the codec before I see those formats listed? The instructions listed are vague as all they show are screenshots of windows. I am experimenting with MCE and MB and all my media plays as "PCM" and XBMC plays Dolby Digital. Do I need to get a different video card in order to support HD audio? I'm almost at the pont of giving up and just using what I have. It just seems a shame to spend $1200+ on a HD receiver only t not get HD audio.
