| Post subject: | Dolby Digital Live / DTS Connect - Choosing a motherboard ?! |
Hi everyone. Longtime lurker, first time poster. About to make the dive into the htpc world. The short version: Do I want "Dolby Digital Live" support on my motherboards onboard sound? Longer version - I'll try and be brief. I am chosing a motherbord - am upgrading from a nForce2 with onboard dolby digital encoding. I used to get DD5.1 output from everything (stereo sources). I am looking at onboard sound that has "Dolby Digital Live" / "Dolby Master Studio" / "DTS Connect" etc. technologies. The big question: Are these things supported by Linux/Myth? Will I get 2.0 sources upconverted to 5.1? ... or should I just be looking for standard onboard sound - with spdif. It would sure give me a broader choice of motherboard... will just mean I need to keep changing the audio mode on my receiver/amp... and I'd much rather everything outputted in DD5.1 |

.. or should I just be buying a receiver/amp that supports Dolby Pro Logic IIx or similar... and let it convert 2.0 sources into 5.1 Sigh. My head hurts. Sorry to be a noob. Please post URL if this discussion has already been done either on these forums, or somewhere else. Thanks in advance everyone. |
