Hi, François,
The PowerDVD 10 trial version support the DTS-HD.
You can make sure the PAVP is enabled or not?
If not, please kindly enable it via BIOS if Asus P7H55-M Pro support the PAVP.
(You can check with ASUS for this parts.)
According to my experience, if the PAVP is disabled on the platform, it will cause the HW acceleration won't be normally enabled.
It may be the reason which you platform can't support the DTS-HD via HDMI but ATI Radeon 5450 could.
Of couse, you will ask why TMT works fine?
I can't confirm it. Maybe TMT doesn't use PAVP for DTS-HD.

... Could you kindly help to check the audio setting of PowerDVD is HDMI or SPDFI? And the audio setting of system is HDMI or SPDIF, thanks.
Hi Mark,
The first question is already answered---just read my post that you quoted above. On my computer, PowerDVD 10 Ultra is set to "Use S/PDIF". HDMI is not an option on my system because my video card does not support audio over HDMI (that standard is a relatively new one) and PowerDVD 10 Ultra recognizes this fact and does not offer HDMI as a choice. The only choices available in PowerDVD 10 Ultra on my system are the usual 5 analog "speaker environments" (Headphone, 2 speaker, 4 speaker, 6 speaker and 8 speaker) and "Use S/PDIF".
As for your second question, my sound card is configured in Windows XP as follows:
[A] My Turtle Beach Montego DDL sound card is set as the default sound card for my system and its advanced speaker settings are set to "5.1 surround sound speakers" in the "Sound and Audio Devices Properties" applet of the Windows Control Panel. This is significant because my system has more than one audio device (I have a DViCO FushionHDTV 7 Dual Express HD TV tuner which can also capture video and audio and therefore appears as an audio device and I sometimes add temporary audio inputs via USB when I'm doing acoustical analysis in my audio lab). This, I suspect, is a problem for some users: If their computer has more than one audio device, too, they don't realize it when Windows is set to use a different audio device than the one with the S/PDIF output. Then, when they try to use the S/PDIF output, they don't know why it doesn't work.
[B] My sound card's audio driver is configured for full-time S/PDIF output via its Montego DDL "Control Panel". It has some rather unique features in this regard. It can stream a variety of digital audio signals (PCM 44.1, 48, 96 kHz and---most unique of all---it can convert in real-time, if desired, all non-encoded audio sources to an encoded Dolby Digital 5.1 audio stream). My sound card also has an S/PDIF input.
The Turtle Beach Montego DDL sound card is not on the "compatible sound card" list of CyberLinks but it works fine with PowerDVD 10 Ultra and it worked well with PowerDVD 8 Ultra, too. But I only use the "Classic" mode of the program. The first time I used the "Cinema" mode was when this thread aroused my curiosity about it and I decided to try it. I still plan to continue to use the Classic mode in the future because I prefer it. But I was able to demonstrate that the Cinema mode does not handle sound correctly when it is streamed to an S/PDIF output and I posted my findings earlier in this thread hoping it would help lend support to the other posters to this thread.
In my view, the first step that the CyberLink programmer(s) should take is to make the audio code of the Cinema mode match that of the Classic mode since the latter works very well. Then the audio of both modes will work as they should and should offer identical options and identical performance. Ultimately, I think it would be best if both modes could be merged into a single program so CyberLink doesn't have to maintain what amounts to two separate programs. However, I don't know if a merge is possible since Windows Media Center compatibility is also desired.
Kind regards, David
Dear David,
Thanks a lot.
There is one more question.
Are there two SPDIF devices in your system?

... can you please describe in most detail how your cabeling situation is? (TV/PC/AMP)? ...
Hi CyberLink-Michael,
Here's the requested information:
My Audio settings of PowerDVD 10 Ultra are configured as follows in Classic mode:
Speaker Environment = "Use S/PDIF"
The encoded digital audio stream flows out the optical S/PDIF port of my Turtle Beach Montego DDL sound card to the Dolby Digital / DTS processor in my external sound system.
Output Mode = "DTS Mixing"
I prefer a DTS sound stream because it has slightly higher fidelity than a Dolby Digital stream.
Please refer to my first post near the beginning of this thread for a description of the problem (my setup and the symptoms of the problem are different than the others). But the essential problem is this: The audio through the Classic mode seems to work properly and the audio through the Cinema mode does not. Whether there is no audio in Cinema mode (as others have reported for their specific setups), or the separate surround sound channels collapse into into a mono audio signal (as in my case), there is a problem.
Kind regards, David
Dear David,
Could you kindly help to check the audio setting of PowerDVD is HDMI or SPDFI? And the audio setting of system is HDMI or SPDIF, thanks.

Dear Essexnigel,
Could you kindly upload the file again?
It seems can't download it.
Thanks.

I just tried out the new trial for powerdvd10. I would like to know if there will be support for the crystal hd card? I noticed that it did'nt work in the trial and if there is no plans to support BCM70012 in powerdvd10 could you please point me to a version that support it?
=================
=> PowerDVD 10 didn't support the "Broadcom BCM70012 chipset" card.
