Hi to all
I am newbie here in this AV section as well as in building up HTPC.
I am inspired to write here having read article authored by Mr.Cameron Wilmot. At the bottom is the link to the wonderful guide.
First & foremost I would like to thank the author for such a nice informative article.
My main motto to write you is to explore possibility to bitstream HD audio using my current PC
My PC configuration is as follows
1. Intel core 2 quad 2.6GHz
2. Biostar P43A7 MOBO
3. 4GB corsair DDR2 RAM
4. MSI ATI Radeon 4350 graphics card 512MB.
5. LITEON BD ROM
6. Windows 7 ultimate
7. Power DVD9
Now I would like to have the members valuable comments on the following.
1 can I bitsream HD audio using my current MOBO which has intel chipset and PCIE 16x (5000 series cards have 16X2.1 PCIE)
2 is it possible to bitstream HD audio using current graphics card
3 My current graphics card has DVI-D dual link only. Is it possible to bitstream through the port using HDMI adapter?
5 As mentioned in the article , any radeon 5000 series card is sufficient to bitstream.Does MSI RADEON 5450 possess sufficient power to bitstream as well as process BLU RAY 3D?
6 When I use RADEON 5450 card, is it possible to use DVI-D port to send video signal to display and HDMI port to send HD audio to AV receiver simultaneously.
7 is it possible to bitstream using POWERDVD 9. The author has mentioned only powerdvd 10 only.
Any comment would be of immense help as it / would help me save few bucks
Thanks in advance.
