It seems the software tries to convert the lossless audio on the fly to DD 5.1 and the added processor overhead overwhelms my computer system. (NVIDIA ION with 650MHz graphics core, and 4 Atom processors running @ 2.2Ghz)

Here's an idea, make lossless audio pass through as standard instead of charging for it in the ultimate version. A $60 no name BluRay player will even do that.

I ran the BluRay advisor and it gave me a grey light on the NVIDIA ION chipset and a red light on their latest drivers.

Power DVD 9, and 12 refuse to play any BluRay disc. I have to assume 10 and 11 will also fail.

Reverting back to November NVIDIA drivers has fixed this issue. But I find this unacceptable as windows keeps updating them automatically to the latest WHQL version

I'm getting close to bailing. The hassle of dealing with this software isn't worth it when I get can get a dedicated player that uses less power for $70 at Walmart. And that includes YEARS of free updates.

I'm using PowerDVD9
Using nVidia ion chipset with latest drivers (For both audio and video)
Using latest Realtek hi-def drivers (including the ones just released last week)
Yes I'm hooked up via HDCP HDMI running at 1920x1080P 60Hz

I only get two options in the sound menu:
DTS DD
PCM decoded

There is No pass through for hi-def sources. There is no DTS Master Audio light on my receiver either.

This is getting frustrating. I would upgrade if I thought it would solve the problem. But so far it hasn't.
