Hi, not sure if this is the best place for this question (maybe it should be in the audio section), but since it's HTPC-related, I thought it might be here.
I want to hook up a Blu-ray's audio out to my PC because it has a 5.1 speaker system attached to it. Basically, I want to use my PC as a receiver and have audio pass through it from an external player to the speakers.
I saw a post where someone wanted to do something similar but with an Xbo 360 to PC speakers, but issues with Dolby Digital vs PCM came up and I don't know if the issue was resolved.
Here's the system I want to use:
Abit K8T800 AV8 (old mobo, I know)
Windows XP Pro
2gb RAM
I don't have the blu-ray player yet, as I want get some feedback as to whether or not this is actually possible.
Thanks in advance for any help.
