Hi fellas, I'm having a nvidia gtx 550 ti graphic card which have hdmi out. Previously connect the hdmi out to tv, now that I'm having a receiver, I just realized that the hdmi out is only 2 channel only. In the nvdia setting, there is no option to change the channel output. From the spec, this card should support hd audio. Any idea guys. Been Googling, bit can't find any answer. .

hi guys,can recommend me cheapest budget for processor + motherboard for HTPC usage? Should have HDMI output. built-in wifi is a bonus. As long as can play all types of media without stutter (most of my files are just 1-2GB only) and can bitstream video and audio via HDMI.
Many many thanks! |

QUOTE(kherel77 @ Sep 3 2013, 01:47 AM) Not using latest tech, but this is my budget setup for now: Wow, thats some seriously budget spec. There is no way i can find this spec new in market now. Good that you can enjoy this budget HTPC. I'm in very tight budget, probably wanna find a good processor with integrated graphics 1st..G31M-ES2L - RM80 P4 524 3.0GHz - RM40 2GB DDR2 - RM80 8400GS with HDMI - RM40 1TB Seagate - RM160 Wireless mouse - RM40 Casing + PSU cap ayam - owned Running WinAmp for music & Media player classic for video. Play full HD in mkv & mp4 format to my Samsung 40" with no problem so far.  But streaming HD even with LAN get some lagging...decoding bottleneck with P4 i think...  **VLC Player & Media Player Classic can run well on low-end GPU. http://www.guru3d.com/articles-pages/accel...pu-guide,1.html https://wiki.videolan.org/VLC_GPU_Decoding/ Still searching how to fully run XBMC on GPU...   |

QUOTE(mharmdone @ Aug 10 2015, 01:11 PM) Hi guys. Hope this is the right thread. I connect my PC via hdmi to my avr(yamaha aventage series). I used mpchc + madvr setting & LAV. My graphic card is nvidia 550ti. In LAV, I checked to bitstream all audio options. Let's say I play a video with 2 audio channel, then my avr will decode the audio to 5.1 channel. But I can just play the original audio in 2 channel too. Just pass thru(bitstream) the audio and play with your avr settings. just wanna get some info on how you guys hook up htpc to an av receiver n to get all 5.1 speakers make sound. Currently only got 2.1 functional. graphic card for the cpu is nvidia 560 ti. Thanks Hope this help. This post has been edited by barjoyai: Aug 19 2015, 12:33 AM |
