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.
