I'm currently building (tomorrow) a HTPC to replace my Dreambox 8000HD.
It's based around some bits I had laying around and some new stuff..
Existing bits :-
E8500 Wolfdale
8Gb DDR2 RAM
LG CH10LS20 Bluray Reader
1Tb Samsung F1 HDD
Asus ATI HD 5570
Eyetv Sat USB DVB-S2
New bits :-
Zalman HD503 Case
MSI GTX460 Cyclone
Corsair 550W PSU
Gigabyte GA-P43-ES3G motherboard
Akasa AK-960E Intel LGA 775 fan
Asus Xonar DS sound card
2 x Skystar HD2 DVB-S2 PCI cards
Now my question is...
If I fit the Xonar card, will it send the sound via HDMI automatically?
It's been a while since I was into PC's (I switched to a 27" iMac last year, and now use that as my main system)
Thanks for the advice!
