| Solid said: If you use some sort of converters from DVI to HDMI or something like that, you can't have audio for those that didnt work. For 7.1 on HDMI I really don't know but I wouldnt be suprised if it was only a driver setting :P
EDIT: Why dont you plug your speakers directly in your PC if you have a 7.1 capable sound card? |
I have a passive speakers system, so it has to plug into the A/V system. I can plug all 8 channels from my PC to my receiver, but that is just a ton of wires to deal with. Since it won't work over HDMI, S/PDIF is good enough.

HD content seems to be fine (online HD content is the only stuff I've run through it yet though), and I've read a lot of other people say they have no problem with that chipset. Also, I was reading some system requirements (WMP HD requirements) and my PC seems more than powerful enough. Oddly enough, the windows "scoring" system says my 4200 is better than the NVidia discrete card in my older PC and that handles HD content fine. However, I'll try out CoreAVC if I start to see artifacts.
