Hello,
I’m about to build a HTPC for a friend, before I’d start I’d like to get the sound right and build from there. He’s going to have a AV amp with HDMI input (and output), capable of receiving True-HD in all its various guises. The last time I looked into this the ATI 4xxx series seemed to be the way to go, is this still the case?
Also,
What software players are capable of outputting True-HD? I can’t get PowerDVD to output 5.1 over SPDIF under Vista 64, is there any hope for 7.1!
He’s likely to get Vista 64, but may get 32 if that’s the only way of using all his speakers.
Any advice appreciated.
