bluray Wrote:no, no...and here is why- if you're passing through audio via hdmi, it doesn't matter how many speakers you tell windows to passthrough. it'll only passthrough the audio codecs within the movie file. that is why it called "passthrough".
you need to set it to stereo because when you play a non passthrough audio format (usually 2ch stuff) stereo will stay as stereo and pass to the amp cleanly, and the other audio codecs (5.1/7.1) will be passed through with raw codecs.
Thank you for the info.. Everything is working fine now I wasn't happy with my ATI graphics card settings when DXVA2 is enabled in XBMC but after some tweaks (disable, edge enhancement, disable smooth video playback etc..) it now looks alot better. Is there a guide or settings for ATI settings which people reccomend on here? Please post if there is!
I guess the only problem I have after following your steps is that when I navigate through XBMC there is no GUI sound at all why is this? Many Thanks
