Hi fellow xbmc users
I use my new gaming pc with xbmc for now, but want's to build a HTPC from pimarily older hardware I have, but before buying more stuff and building it...
I have been googling an reading on the xbmc site to find information about the reasons for my pc/xbmc failing to deliver or find a 6.1 or 7.1 signal from either blu-ray discs or blu-ray mkv rips, now that a dvd disc with 6.1 works.
I think I learned so much that it wont be supported in xbmc untill version 11, and that I need a graphics card with 1.3a HDMI for the lossless blu-ray sound format?
In my new gaming pc I am passing my sound from a motherboard header to one of the nvidia 9600gt's and then by HDMI to my Harman/Kardon AVR 255 reciever. I believe that the header on the motherboard is just another spdif which wont support DTS-HD MA 7.1, so what would getting a graphics card with 1.3a HDMI help?
Secondly the old motherboard I have; asus A8n32 sli deluxe, don't even have that sound header to transfer the sound to HDMI, so what to do?
