Not without an HDMI output that supports it and PAP.
You will either need a Radeon 5 series GFX card, which has an onboard sound controller that can pass audio via HDMI, or a very expensive Asus Xonar HDAV sound card. Thank the idiots who came with HDCP for that. Thought it would stop piracy did they?

what does hdcp have to do with it lol
Op is using PowerDVD - that doesn't support bitstreaming via the Xonar. That card requires Arcsoft TMT
Back to the Op: your soundcard won't support bitstreaming of HD audio. You need one of the ATI 5xxx cards for that to work with PowerDVD
