Will one of these 2011 Mac Minis bitstream HD audio in BootCamped Windows 7 if they have the base Intel HD 3000 Graphics instead of the upgraded AMD card?
Yes!
I recently bought an entry level Mac Mini (i5, Intel HD3000) and I can confirm that HD Audio can be bitstreamed while playing lossless bluray content (from original Bluray disc or from mkv file) using BootCamped Windows 7. I have done this through Total Media Theatre 5 as well as an XBMC version supporting bitstreaming of HD Audio.
However!!!!
I have not yet been able to do it on OSX. Still trying to find a way but so far it seems the best option is bitstreamed DTS Surround. Sucks to run Windows on a Mac but so far it seems to be the only way to get bitstreamed HD Audio.
