Hi
I'm running the following system
I'm connecting my the HDMI out of my laptop (Acer 5930G) to the HDMI input of my A/V receiver (Pioneer VSX-21TXH). HDMI out of my A/V receiver is connected to the HDMI input of my plasma.
The problem
[LIST=2]
[*]I use the nVIDIA Control Panel and set my A/V receiver as my display.
[*]I then go to the Windows Control Panel -> Sound and Audio Devices and set the NVIDIA High Definition Audio as my default device for Sound playback, and Voice playback
[*]Start XBMC
[*]XBMC Audio settings are as follows
Audio Output: Digital
Dolby Digital (AC3) capable receiver: ON
DTS capable receiver: ON
Audio output device: NVIDIA High Definition Audio
Downmix multichannel audio to stereo: OFF
[*]Navigating the XBMC menus I get to hear the sound
[*]Playing a DVD results in jibberish sound (artifacts, on/off sound, weird behaviour) from my 5.1 speakers.
[/LIST]
Now, if I set the Dolby Digital (AC3) capable receiver and DTS capable receiver options to OFF, I can hear the sound normally, but of course the A/V Receiver displays PCM as the input signal.
I've tried several DVDs and I get the same problem. I've also tried all possible surround sound options in my A/V receiver to no avail.
I'd be very appreciative if someone could help me with the issue, as I'd ideally love to have my A/V receiver do the decoding.
Thanks in advance
Cheers
