Guys, I've recently moved from a media player (HDX BD1) to a HTPC  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?

QUOTE(paskal @ May 12 2014, 04:06 PM) 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. http://www.silverstonetek.com/product.php?pid=293What graphic card can I use that'll fit?
