Hi guys,

I don't know y u guys says Notebook HDMI cannot give audio output. My notebook can output 5.1 and even 7.1 to my AVR. I not sure this is call decode or pass thru but it does audio output.

Sorry if i quote "guys" wrongly.

About TS, my notebook can output HD Audio over HDMI. I "think" HDMI should be able to output both HD audio and video over HDMI in any case (maybe i am wrong).

Must be very careful with writing english here!!! . May offend someone.

Just having 5.1 sound over HDMI doesn't mean it can handle HD Audio. Getting HD Audio will depend on the software, the sound Card capabilities etc.
I am not sure about your setup but my setup is notebook -> AVR, my AVR shows that HD Audio is running with 7.1 and not only "just having 5.1 sound over HDMI". Does this mean my system can handle HD Audio?

Even your AVR must be able to handle HD Audio. There are some AVR with HDMI but the sound is not passed through.

In either case there must be a HD audio decoder (TrueHD/DTS-MA, not regular Dolby/DTS) present.

Selecting HD audio in the source movie and hearing 5.1 sound in your HT system doesn't mean you are getting HD Audio. For e.g when I play a blu-ray movie in my non-HD audio AVR , I still get 5.1 sound but it is only downgraded sound.

btw, you didn't quote "guys" wrongly. You quote "U Guys" wrongly . And it's not the english that I am talking about
I wrote "u guys" means that i am not specifically pointing at that person and just for general speaking.

cheers mate.....
