Well, I think I'm finally barking up the right tree. I can't get my PC to bitstream anything. I've tried using PowerDVD10 with HDMI passthrough, tried codecs with WMP...everything is sent across as PCM. I'm trying to enlist the help of some people at avsforum. It might be an EDID problem. I'm going to try that next, and if that doesn't help then I'm going to start playing with different hardware and operating systems.

This is extra-frustrating, since as steelman said it should just work. I'm starting to think that my PC has never bitstreamed. At the very least I can enable HDMI output in XBMC and just turn off the options for AC3 and DTS. I know that works and sends it to the receiver properly in PCM. I've tested with various formats, and everything works and sounds good. Now I'm just curious how much better it can sound if it was bitstreamed properly.

Hopefully I'll be back with good news :/
