Since getting an OEM PC with a Gigabyte GA-EG45M-DS2H and Vista with the TV Pack, I've been frustrated by Media Center refusing to play any DVDs. It works if I connect the PC directly to the Pioneer but not if I leave it connected to the Denon (AVR-2809).
I recently installed Windows 7 RTM (proper copy - not a torrent) and was dismayed to find the problem still there.
I noticed that under the Playback section, it lists DENON-AVAMP as the high definition audio device that the system is connected to. Going to the Supported Formats tab, it says:
HDCP: Not supported
so I'm now wondering if that is why Media Center is upset. So my question is this: is it really the Denon amp that doesn't support HDCP, or is it an issue with the Intel driver, or something within Windows 7 that is messed up?
I could really do with getting this fixed. Having a PC that can't play DVDs is just really aggravating and the WAF is zero
.
Thanks.
