[QUOTE="Robert_E, post: 42036, member: 853"] I just bought a ATI 4000 series screencard with the intention of passing the HD audio formats via HDMI to a receiver that can decode those formats. Guess what? The screencard cannot pass DTS-MA and DD-THD to the amp, instead everything gets decoded on the PC and then the uncompressed PCM is sent out via the HDMI connection only. <a href="http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=3411">This article</a> explains it nicely. (EDIT: How do I embed a URL on this forum ?) I wondered what the reasoning was behind the Asus Xonar HDMI audio cards if you could just pass the HD audio out via the screencard. And now I know. Damn the DRM and encryption schemes they built into blu-ray! [/QUOTE]
