    Andrew,

    1.  I am using Shark007 for MKV playback.  I uninstalled them and still have bouncing audio.

    2.  The drivers state that they are from Realtek so I am assuming they are correct.

    Aaron,

    1.  None of the OTA or Fios channels are using PCM audio.  I did try a 1 chan DD station and it bounced as well.

    2.  I think you may be right, there may be some HDMI<>HDMI Ooggidy-Booggidy going on that I don’t have the time, resources or technical wear-with-all to resolve.  I’m just not that good.

    3.  I am going to fall back to the optical link for the HTPC. 

    All my rips are in DD or DTS.  Since the optical link can send PCM, DD & DTS I’m not losing anthing I had before.  I just wanted to get rid of an extra cable and hopefully simplify some things.  I have never been able to get subtitles or 24fps video to work on my HTPC either, that’s the reason I have a networked BluRay player that I can put the original disc into and get subtitles, 24fps and now it appears DD-HD and DTS-HD sound as well if I so chose since the BR players’ HDMI connections is working fine.

    Thanks for the suggestions.  If anyone has a solution I’d love to hear it and I’ll give it a try.  Not urgently needed, just curious.  Thanks again.
