I used to have AsRock mobo, and I never have to disable anything in bios. Since it doesn't recognize your AVR through HDMI, you might have EDID issue. You can visit this thread "EDID Overrides to solve bitstreaming issues for ATI 5xxx's" for solution.....

You can try another HDMI cable between HTPC and AVR, and you try another HDMI port on your AVR too.....

Found the problem!

After loading the Realtek drivers, I forced the driver update of the "High Definition Audio Device" to the folder d:\asrock\VGA_Win8_Win7(v15.28.6.2857)\VGA(v15.28.6.2857)\DisplayAudio

Now it shows "Intel® Display Audio" and has the bitstreaming options!

One more question.. why would HDCP be not supported?


For some reason after all of my fiddling, my recorded videos in Win 7 Media Center got all choppy. I am not sure what went wrong. I have an Acronis drive image from 2 days ago that I'm going to restore then try to just update the Intel driver to see if that works.

The Intel Management Interface Engine driver handles that, go hear for instruction to verify whether it is installed http://www.intel.com/support/graphics/sb...ine+driver

Try to install this "AnyDVD HD" and then reboot HTPC......check it again afterward....

HDCP issue can causes by a lot of things (HDMI cable, HDTV, AVR, etc)......

Video  RE: blu-ray in 1080p with dts-hd and truehd Post: #737
I am in the process of building a HTPC and this parts that i'm buying..

1-ASRock Socket FM2/AMD A75
2-AMD A6-5400K APU 3.6Ghz Processor AD540KOKHJBOX
3-96GB SSD
4-2GB of RAM
5-CASE


My Question is,is these good enough to support DTSHD MA ,TRUE HD and 3D BLURAY PLAYBACK.

IS having XBMC AND WIN7 the only way to bitstream?
Can i use XBMCUbuntu to bitstream HD?

Any suggestion on parts to buy and software used will be appreciated.

Thanks!

Yes, you will be able to bitstream HD audio with A6-5400K. I'm not familiar with Linux. You can visit my new thread to setup the latest Eden for bitstreamin- Windows How to Bitstreaming using XBMC.........

With the Windows builds then Intel, Nvidia, & ATI are all fine for HD Audio bitstreaming.

However it's a different story with the Linux & Live XBMC builds, as on these only Nvidia graphics will provide HD Audio bitstreaming for the moment. Intel should support HD Audio via it's Linux drivers however there is a bug preventing bitstreaming working for now, until this is fixed TrueHD can be decoded to LPCM and DTS-MA will be decoded via the 5.1 DTS Core track to LPCM. As for ATI, their Linux audio drivers limit audio output to compressed DD/DTS 5.1 & 2 channel LPCM so no hope of any form of HD Audio.

Glad I just read this, was going to buy a new AVR that supports HDMI and HD audio formats etc. But I am running Xbmc v12.1 on Linux Ubuntu 12.10 minimal, using an Intel i3 2130 CPU which has HD 2000 graphics.

If I replacement my current AVR that only does Digital Opitical and DD / DTS with a newer AVR will I be able to bit stream HD audio formats to it?

Thanks
