Unless there is an Intel MEI (Management Engine Interface) driver, PAP (protected audio path) on windows wont work which means bitstreaming TrueHD and DTS-MA wont work. Since the 2830 is just a processor revision and there are no new drivers, I would say you've got buckleys chance of it working.

IMO the "problem" is that the Celeron NUC platform does not have an Management Engine device/chip/capability at all, and thus no MEI driver, and since the MEI driver is also required to enable certain DRM aspects of protected audio/video path and windows enforces/cares about such things it will never work. At least for those who really want bitstreaming HD codecs from these models, they can use a non windows OS I guess.

In my case since I prefer to run windows, I have a i3 model (4010) in the media room that DOES have MEI and thus is bitstreaming the HD audio to my receiver etc... then I have the Celeron models in loungeroom and bedrooms where there isn't a HD capable receiver or surround speakers etc anyway, thus bitstreaming of HD codecs isn't required. If I ever did want bitstream HD in those rooms though, I would switch to openelec
