Hi all, First of all i have my Media PC with a Bluray Reader installed and i am using the Onboard HDMI for video and the Onboard Optical Out for audio, The motherboard i am using is Gigabyte GA-73PVM-S2H, I am running the Audio through My Sony HT-DDW890 AV Amp with the Optical out.

The Problem i am getting is that Video is fine when playing back a bluray movie but the Audio is only detected as PCM 96, i know that PCM is basically stereo and 96 is the sample rate but i want it to run in Dolby digital surround sound, Do i need to get a soundcard in which this is decoded to output although im sure that the AV reciever can decode this.

What am i doing wrong.

Thanks
 
Is there a soundcard i can buy with Optical out that can do this, I checked in Powerdvd when playing back a Bluray disk and that reckons its playing in Dolby digital but still only getting PCM through the optical out.

Thanks for all the reply so far.
