Maybe my problem with flac is driver-related. From AudioEngine Linux thread:
So what happens if my original FLAC file is 192kHz? Do you have the same problem with flac (driver issue) or it is just me(configuration issue)?
Quote:I would suggest reading up on HD vs non HD audio codecs and the limitations involved in transmitting them. Basically the ATI cards HDMI connection emulate an SPDIF/Coax connection. This means they are limited to about 48 kHz for the stereo audio sampling rate and 2 channels of uncompressed audio. You need at least 96 kHz or 6 channels to get HD audio out of the card. This limitation is in software since the Windows drivers can handle HD audio codecs with no problem.
SPDIF/Coax connections do not support HD audio ANYWHERE (this is not an ATI/XBMC limitation. These connections were never designed to handle the bitrate HD audio codecs require).
