Best output with MC
audunth:
There are two things you have to make sure to get the HD audio from a ripped Blu-ray:
1) When ripping the Blu-ray, make sure the full HD audio is ripped, not just the standard DTS/DD audio. For example, a DTS-HD soundtrack also contains a DTS Core, so that it can be compatible with older receivers not supporting HD audio. Some programs just rip the DTS Core audio, leaving the ripped MKV file with only DTS audio, not DTS-HD.
2) The LAV Audio decoder used in MC only supports decoding of DTS-HD if a file called dtsdecoderdll.dll from a TMT (TotalMedia Theatre) installation. More on this here: http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=67401.0 . Blu-rays with Dolby TrueHD or LPCM audio doesn't need this file.

Well any device that takes a digital signal in and pushes out an analog one has a DAC (Digital to Analoge Converter in it), eg the Soundcard has a DAC in it. Some people by optionally use an seperate dedicated DAC for quality reasons but they both do the same job. Many still will use the DAC in the receiver if they it is receving a S/PDIF, HDMI connection.

You can also copy the file from another PC, if you have it installed there already, or its easier to do so.

Well after much changing we are now at Spdif bitstreaming for video.
I have created a zone for my husbands music but cant get wasapi event style to work I can only get direct sound with default speakers.
The music now seems to be breaking down becoming scratchy.
