Hi,
Just picked up a LG GGW-H10N Blu-ray Disc Rewriter & HD DVD-ROM Drive. Somewhat expensive
Anyway, that asside, I have ripped my massive personal HD collection (all of 3 at the moment) and have no problems playing it through my media pc to the tv at 1080p over hdmi using PowerDVD Ultra. The sound going over spdif.
Now, for the experts out there. How do I go about getting the sound out via a graphics card that is supposedly HDCP/HDMI ready? The graphics card in question is a silent MSI 8600gts (NX8600GTS-T2D256EZ-HD). As far as I understand it Dolby TrueHD and Dolby Digital Plus for example wont go via spdif (lack of bandwidth) and only go out via a hdmi 1.3 connection, so somehow need to get the audio through the dvi socket?
Is this even possible at present on a pc? Do I need to change motherboards for a hdmi/hdcp socket. Do I need to change gfx cards? Do I need to forget about it?
Yes, I am slightly confused by all this.
Cheers,
Richie.
