My AMD HDMI is only showing 6 channels (I think that's okay though because that's all my receiver/blu-ray player supports) and support for DTS and DD only; no AAC, AC3, DTSHD or truHD. Help, please?

I'm using a Saphire Radeon HD-6570 outputting over HDMI 1.4a to an LG HB906TA 5.1 receiver/blu-ray combo that outputs to my LG 55LW5000 over HDMI 1.4a again.

The receiver supports DTSHD and truHD as well as the lossy surround sound codecs.

Any advice is appreciated, I'm going nuts trying to figure this out.

bluray Wrote:You have a very modern and sleek LG surround system. The Saphire Radeon HD6570 is one of my favorite GPU. You can follow my guide below and try not to skip any step:

1. connect your system- htpc>avr>hdtv with two hdmi cables and set avr to pass-through video
2. if you already installed xbmc, un-install xbmc in start>control panel>programs and features
3. delete all xbmc registry in start>type "regedit" in search box>select "current user">edit>type "xbmc" in search box>if any xbmc pop up, delete it>select "local machine">edit> "xbmc" in search box>if any xbmc pop up, delete it.

Note- step 2&3 above is necessary to make sure that everything will be freshly installed.

xbmc option-
1. install the latest "ati" video card driver
2. install- High Definition Audio Codecs
3. follow these steps to setup sound in control panel- control panel hd passthrough and make sure to configure speaker to "stereo"
4. download- darma 10.1 "don't launch xbmc at this point"
5. launch xbmc from this folder- xbmc_hd_audio. if you haven't installed this ms c++ package, you can install it here- microsoft visual c++ 2010 redistributable Package (x86)
6. configure pre-eden hd audio settings using these steps- pre-eden settings
7. select bd movie file (iso/m2ts/mkv or index.bdmv directly from bd-rom) with dts-hd or truehd audio, and enjoy it! (if you don't know what movie has hd audio, you can verify it with bdinfo)

bluray Wrote:congratulation and enjoy it! did you get it to work with xbmc_hd_audio version?

i watched "cars 2" with dts-hd and "shrek forever after" with truehd with my kids last saturday. it worked flawless on both movies. i feel sorry for those that cannot get it to work on their system though!

whatyousay Wrote:I don't understand why? I have the latest 11.11 ATI drivers and the latest 2.66 Realtek audio drivers. Is it a problem with my motherboard? It doesn't have S/PDIF, but does support 7.1 over analog (I thought it would over HDMI as well, but apparently not, so I got my video card yesterday). I have HD audio enabled in the BIOS, and I've tried the whole process with it disabled as well to no avail.

whatyousay Wrote:I pressed on to step 6, but XBMC doesn't recognize a pass-through output device:

whatyousay Wrote:In the control panel's devices list, my AVR shows up as LG-BDHT but is a "Generic PnP Monitor." Do I need a dedicated receiver or something? My receiver has a spartan setup menu; no explicit controls over pass-through.

wazzey Wrote:Well I guess I spoke too soon. After messing with several movies, I am getting audio dropouts as well. Furthermore DTS-HD MA gives me loud screeching feedback through the speakers every once in a while.

Things I have tried:
Switching hdmi cables
Updating firmware on the yamaha rx-v1800 receiver
Reinstalling xbmc and the hd audio drivers
Updating to the 11.11 ati drivers

Next thing I think I'm gonna try is switching video cards.
I've got 2 other video cards that will bitstream
Am using an xfx 6670 in this one, will try the 5750 and then a 6770.

Any other suggestions? I'll report back on how it goes
Are the developers planning on making this better in the next stable build? I'm new to xbmc and don't know the process

Thanks
