[QUOTE="user 1447, post: 413389, member: 1447"] problem is that he said all the digital inputs stopped working not sure if he meant that only the HDMi is not working and possibly the optical may still be working nope - the driver would allow it to happen but the software needs to make it happen - for example XBMC gives you options for analog/digital/HDMI which obviously depends on the driver but only HDMI will passthrough the HD audio - if you use the analog or digital options then Dolby TrueHD will default down to AC3 and DTS-HD(ma) will default down to DTS-core (ie normal DTS) - you still need software capable of doing the audio decoding - as an example i think that power DVD (latest version) does it .... if im not mistaken but i did read an article somewhere where it was specified in the software that it will do the HD audio processing so even if your hardware is capable it doesnt mean that it will automatically do it which is why im asking higher end blu-ray players obviously have it coded into their firmware to do the decoding and pass on the PCM signal to the AVR's analog inputs (aka multi-channel in) [/QUOTE]
