Just select HDMI as your sound in the sound properties and 5.1 DTS in XBMC properties

Sry if I got something wrong but I don't see any Intel configuration which is equally powerful as the AMD one I chose. Did I misunderstand something there? ._.

Hi eskro,
what do you think about the New Zotac Zbox, especially with the new atom d2700? Is AMD still on top?

Hii.. I am a newbee in this forum.. I read your threads
1. My Very First HTPC, But Where do I Start?
2. From which Group do you belong!?
Very Helpful...
However ,.I have a small doubt about bitstreaming HD Audio..
As you hav mentioned,, I belong to Group 6 (specifically want to Bitstream HD Audio thru HDMI)
You hav mentioned that we can have
...group 6
Best Served By?
* any of eSkRo's Builds + HD5450 (Windows only)
* Zotac ZBOX-AD02-U
* Zotac ZBOX-AD03BR-U
Well These Zotac s have HD6310 Graphics and I came across this page
http://www.missingremote.com/guide/bitstreaming-hdmi-hd-audio-formats-your-htpc
which has mentioned that only HD5xxx series cards can Bitstream HD Audio ((DTS-HD Master Audio and Dolby TrueHD))
Even on Zotacs site , product page of ZOTAC ZBOX AD02 [ZBOX-AD02-U] i.e http://www.zotacusa.com/zbox-ad02.html
It mentions in its specs that It can only Send LPCM channels
"""Onboard Audio Onboard analog stereo high-definition audio/7.1-Channel LPCM digital audio (HDMI)/Optical Digital S/PDIF audio"""
this kind of contradicts with your suggestions.. Please help in this issue whether 6310 can Bitstream HD Audio thru HDMI
Thanks
Hemant

Eskro/all,
I am new to the XBMC sceen and getting ready to build HTPC. Two questions.
1. Why are the A6 and A8 builds not able to use XBMC Live (Linux)?.
2. I am trying to determined the positives/negatives between XBMC Windows vs XBMC live. I dont care too much about being able to play with typical windows programs on the big screen. Also it would be nice to not shell out 100-130 dollars for a windows OS. It seems like it would be easier all around to have windwos installed(drivers, adding files etc) but i dont like the idea of waiting for the OS to boot up and all the bugs that come along with it. Is there a trick everyone is using to boot faster(ex. sleep/hibernate) and are you setting XBMC to launch on bootup automatically? Sorry for newbie questions
