I just finished building my HTPC. For sound I am using a SB Live Value 4832. I connected both the digital out connector to my receiver, Denon 5800, and the 4 analog connections.
I was then surprised that all sound out of my HTPC goes out over the digital connection. Even when I play a game or an MP3.
For DVDs it is just passing through DD. But how does it work for music coming out of my HTPC? What is the format? Is it stereo? Is it quad? Is it always DD? I know the Xbox is going to do this but I don't think the SB can do this.
What digital format goes out over my digital connection from my PC to my receiver when an MP3 is playing?
Thanks,
