True HD audio Blu-Ray player software

[fizzy]

Hi,

I'm using WinDVD9 and it has come to light that it seems to downsample high quality audio tracks to 48khz/16bit audio regardless of the hardware its running on.

I was watching the incredible hulk the other night and noted that even though its a 48khz/24bit Dolby audio track/stream, its output is 16bit. This is the information it provides itself in the information page of the settings section. I've ticked the "allow 98khz/24bit audio support" option but its still downscaling.

Is there any software out there which allows proper support of high def audio on compatible audio hardware?

I even tried using a different sound card instead of the onboard audio on my Asus P5Q deluxe but its the same with that.

Thanks.

Well at the moment I don't think there is, there's only three bits of software that I know of that plays back hi-def discs, you're running one of them already & the other 2 are

PowerDVD Ultra (7.3 or 8)
Arcsoft total media theatre (thinking of buying due to it being able to integrate into Vista media Centre)

IMO I would wait for now, someone will include this feature sooner or later if the yank HPTC owners shout loudly enough.
