It finally works! I uninstalled the nVidia driver and reinstalled and now I am getting TrueHD and DTS Master HD sound! Does the team plan on making this HD version of XBMC the main file?

Good job, and I'm glad that it is finally working!

As far as HD audio include in the next XBMC 11.1, it looks very promising this time around. Let cross our fingers! Smile

Very nice, I had a whole most and this multi touch mouse wiped it all out. :-)

To sum it up, I was testing with 300 and I think I must have ripped it wrong because many of my movies were showing TrueHD and DTSHD. Also, was that HD version of RC2 a private thing because I 100% want it when Eden comes out!!!

Oh, and THANK YOU BLURAY!!

If you want to know what is in it, you can MediaInfo to verify it.

For now, there is no HD audio in any XBMC beta or release version.

I'm glad that I can help!

Well what was that version that one of the team members linked to me? Was that just someone's 3rd party work at it? That's all I ever want to use and team XBMC should incorporate it, imho anyways. :-)

I will MediaInfo 300. It was one of my first rips and I might not have gotten then TrueHD out of it.

1. Make sure that your HD7970 driver is up to date, and you download it from here- Graphics Drivers & Software

2. Make sure that you connect your system this way- HTPC-->AVR-->HDTV via two HDMI cables. Does your AVR supports DTS-HD/TrueHD?


3. Select AMD HDMI audio output in W7 control panel

You should see the options afterward...

1. Drivers were up to date until now as new ones out yesterday during my working day, will try those.

2. Cable all connected that way as normal.

3. Been doing this but will report any change with new drivers.

It is sort of the version that new developer members threw it out there to test the water. So far, it works very well for most users. From what I heard, some developers are trying to push it into the 11.1 version. It's not concrete plan though. It's not new to me. I have been using XBMC HD audio with Dharma since last July, and I'm still using it in one of my HTPC. As I said, let keep our fingers cross and hope for the best! Smile

we were soldiers surround effects is great but star trek 2009 hd is ok but no where near the effects of we were soldiers, maybe its the movies that are so different causing poorer quality sound? but how can a non hd film be better audio than a hd blu ray?

Tried with power dvd 12 for results not just xbmc, even tried star wars 1977 but was disappointed with surround effects even though its dolby digital.
On the amp it says dolby digital or depending on settings pcm.
