Guys,

I've recently moved from a media player (HDX BD1) to a HTPC biggrin.gif
My HTPC uses Intel Core i3 onboard graphics and audio.
It is connected to my Denon 2311 amp via HDMI and I've left, right, center Mordaunt-Short speakers plus a Rythmik subwoofer.

I've an issue with the audio.
When I was using the HDX BD1, the sound impact and LFE effects was much stronger.
Now on the htpc it feels much more flat.

Any ideas why?

but the great thing about htpc is that it's upgradeable. and the upgrade path is freaking cheap.
if you find the onboard graphics to sound lifeless, you could always add a dedicated card. an ATI graphics solution that could bitstream hd audio could be had from ~RM100 (HD5450). better card from HD6XXX and HD7XXX series could be had for around ~RM200.

I'm using a Silverstone GD06 HTPC case.

What graphic card can I use that'll fit?
