So far I haven't been able to do it, and I tried Windows 7 and various media players and XBMC Linux installation. Is it at all possible?

ion 1 will stream only dts/ac3 or 7.1 pcm

Thanks. Is there any workaround (e.g. using external hardware or decoding in software)?

 

[buzzqw]

Decoding TrueHD/DD+/DTS-HD bit-perfect to multichannel LPCM and sending over HDMI via ION is still possible. Use LAV Audio Decoder + ArcSoft's dtsdecoderdll.dll + ReClock, or ArcSoft Audio Decoder HD + ReClock .

Of course you don't really know what is happening when you do that. You see multi channle LPCM on receiver and wonder what is really going there. I agree it is an approach that should be viable. The Ions can work surprisingly well, but you do need to fiddle like crazy with codec to get them optimized. I had good luck with one but went to Sandy Bridge to not have to juggle everything so hard.

ReClock tells you all what's happening.
