hey guys, thanks in advance for any help you can offer...
a background of what I have might help you guys answer my question:
-Laptop w/ bluray rom (not capable of decoding TrueHD)
-Creative's Sound Blaster 5.1 External sound card
-Optical (toslink) connection from soundcard to Logitech Z-5500 5.1 speakers
My questions are:
1). When I play a bluray disc that features TrueHD with the above setup, what will I hear? 2.0 stereo? 5.1 discrete surround? nothing?
and
2). Do all bluray discs that feature TrueHD/Lossless PCM have a regular lossy 5.1 surround track that my bdrom will recognize and send via toslink to my speakers?
I just want 5.1 discrete surround--it doesn't have to be lossless surround. I want to avoid dolby 2.0 stereo or matrixed surround.
Thanks for all of your time and help
