Hello,
I have been running pdvd 9 for a while and have been very happy with it, integration could be better as well as detection for when its already running but i'll leave that for another day.
Anyway I was rapt when support for the ati hd5xxx hd audio was anounced, I had planned to get one and finally enjoy my movies as intended, So I got the patch, bought a hd5670 and thought away we go, after two days of ripping my hair out I and trying different drivers I tested some blu rays with some other software and bang, it all worked, but no hd audio on pdvd 9, so I gave up, happy in the thought it worked, just not with my prefered player.
I then find this forum message and discover that you have to play the movie, then go into the settings and enable hd audio providing your drivers are the right one's!
2 questions,
1 whose gonna know to do that considering thiers no info about it and...
2 Is it gonna be changed so that it detects hd audio and adjusts accordingly like most other programs?
I just find it silly that you have to play movie then adjust audio instead of adjust audio based on what capabilities are detected then play.
I hope it gets changed, cause people with htpc are gonna need a 100 page manual to get blu ray playback 100% fully operational with the lack of information, thank the lord for forums and other users that communicate thier problems to find solutions.
