If you have HD5850, why do you need to use Xonar between HD5850 and AVR? You should be able to bitstreaming DTS-MA/TrueHD directly from HD5850 to AVR.

+1, I have been struggling with Xonar audio card for a while. I replaced my video card with Radeon 5450 and it costed me the same $35 last month and then updated the driver software. Now with the Windows patch I am all set.

I was breaking it to him gently Laugh

The "official" Xonar HDA thread at AVScience is 313 pages and it's not pretty. It's a great card if you need analog out on multiple channels, but has been essntially replaced for $35 with a pure digital path via HDMI with the AMD cards Bluray refers to.

Exactly, its a nice piece of card but Xonar's path of using ASIO complicates the issue. In my case I have a large mix of stereo and 5.1 audios. When I was using the Xonar I have to go to their control application every time and choose the channel mix to get the best performance.

I chose Xonar in the first place because of AMD was not allowing more than 2 channels thru HDMI until late 2011.

Thank you

You can use the build mentioned in post #238.

that build is based on beta 1, i believe.

That build is based on Beta 1.

Hopefully we will see a build based on Beta 2 that also includes the DTS-MA timing fixes as well as possibly some fixes to the 200ms audio delay issue that affects most users.

I'm not aware of a Beta 3.

Beta 3 shows here:

Interesting, they are probably holding off announcement on the home page until it's compiled for other OS.

Daniela, is there any chance you can create a new build based on Beta 3 that also includes the DTS-MA timing fix that is mentioned in post 238?

Hi,
With DTS-HD Master Audio I get an error "Failed to initialize audio device"
I am using an nvidia ION based system and an Onkyo TX-NR3008 (which can handle DTS-HD MA).
please help....

ION does not support DTS-MA bitstream.

I'm pretty sure ion doesn't support HD audio... I think 1 version of the ion does (Asrock ion 3D) but overall the ion chipset doesn't allow hd audio (such as acer aspire revo 3610/3700 etc etc etc) they don't do HD audio on windows.

That could be your issue, I'd try there first.
