DD Passthrough

[phenixdragon]

I am wondering, has anyone gotten this to work on the new nForce 4 board? I am running the new ASUS A8N-VM CSM board (pretty sweet board with the built in GeForce 6150 that uses PureVideo ) and I can not figure out the pass through if it's possible. I have read others having problems getting to work in MCE but also haven't read anything for a fix.

Actually when I run through the SoundMAX test it only is playing through 2 sepakers instead of 5.1 as it is setup through 5.1 int he settings. Any ideas?

Release Notes

* Updated November 15, 2005: After installing the PureVideo Decoder and using the MCE "speaker setup" wizard to select 5.1 speakers, the audio will only be set in 2 channel stereo mode. This is a known issue with Microsoft Media Center Edition 2005 Update Rollup2. You may download this patch to fix the problem. The patch sets the proper value for 5.1 analog and must be run after using the speaker setup wizard. Note: You must run this patch every time after you run the wizard in order for the settings to remain active.

I'll check that out. I actually have always had this problem no matter what OS or hardware setup. As int he patch since I am already running PureVideo.

No dice.

I think I am missing something inside Windows and not related to nVidia since I have had this happen with other chipsets and audio cards.
