Running HT Omega Claro > SPDIF > Marantz 9200 > Speakers.
About 6 months ago when I bought the speakers and receiver, I bought an M Audio Revolution sound card, but I couldn't get it working 100% how I wanted it to (Wouldn't pass through 100%, I spent *a lot* of time trying to get it working correctly). So I bought a HT Omega Claro. Plugged it in, deleted the old drivers (as best I could, M Audio doesn't make this easy) downloaded the new drivers. Bam! Worked right away. Passed through everything from the SPDIF to the Marantz for decoding... played everything at its native bitrate, it let my AVR decode DD, DTS, etc.
So I had to format the HTPC a couple days ago and reinstall everything. No big deal I assumed, it was pretty much plug in play last time, which after all the fooling around with the M Audio was quite the relief. I guess I couldn't be more wrong. The HT Omega Claro wont pass through anymore. It only plays the bitrate I which is selected as the "Default Format" in W7. This is under Sound > Properties > Advanced. if I select 24/92, my receiver is getting 24/92, if I select 16/44.1, that's what it gets, etc. And it wont pass through any DD or DTS for movies.
I have the on board sound disabled in the bios and I am running 'SPDIF Pass through', not 'Speakers' in the W7 setup. I have tried both ways.
This is super frustrating. Any help would be appreciated. I searched, but to no avail.
Edit: When I formatted, I did not remove the sound card or the video card (Nvidia GT430).
