Did you install the HD Audio driver for the ATI card ? It usually does not comes with the CCC package...

Hi, need more details on yr problems.

Mine have VIA HD Audio & ATI HD Audio in Device Manager..

In Control Panel, I can choose between HD Audio rear output ( analog or digital ) or ATI HD Audio for HDMI sound output together with video to the TV..
*
installed already.. in device manager it detect as ATI HD Audio, hardware detect run properly, but when come to audio control panel there is no ATI HD audio output

Is yr audio/video on HDMI or normal DVI / VGA ?

I hv my 2nd PC with an ATI card that connect directly to LCD Monitor via DVI, I could not find the ATI HD Audio cos the system did not detect a HDMI connection to HDMI Receiver or TV..

That could be the reason Sound in Control Panel did not allow you to choose ATI HD Audio ( HDMI sound output ONLY )
*
so, should connect first to AV receiver, then will detect automatically in control panel?

Upgrade to Win7. WinXP is a b**** to work with on HDMI. Problem with WinXP is it doesn't support PAP. You need Win7.

lazy to install/setup everthing again tongue.gif

btw what is PAP? hmm.gif

Is it necessary to have gigabit network to stream 1080p BDMV? Appreciate any inputs.
*
for 1080p i think yes, because i've tried to stream over 100mbps network got lagging, but for 720p, running fine

What sound card are you using right now? Not all sound card support audio bitstream.
You also can use ATI HD 5xxx series graphic card to bitstream HD audio to AVR.

i think is nothing to do with my sc.. since my gc should able to perform HD audio bitstream, but i dunno how to setting it

Putting your center speaker on the floor will not give u optimal sound man. Place it on something that elevates it above the floor. smile.gif

Owh.. okok.. Nice price..

BTW, i dicover a very nice soundcard for HTPC setup. Using it myself as well. Its Onkyo SE-90PCI. Comes with LP Bracket for small casing and standard Bracket for ATX casing.

The sound really very very nice.. More details of the product here but too bad in Japanese only..

im using also.. sound very nice especially when i played jazz music or vocal rclxms.gif

but there is no analog multichannel output and no audio input.


btw there is another good soundcard which is fit in small casing:
