I built my HTPC about six months ago and have not really used it for audio except to pass the digital onto the receiver. I have a Sony ES receiver that was bought knowing it would be replaced as soon as possible. I've added an external 7 channel amp and really wanting to get rid of the ES all together. Every thing I've read points me in the direction of buying a Lexicon MC-8 or 12 for Logic7.
1) What algorithm would my Delta 410 card use to matrix to 7.1?
2) Will it matrix any source to 7.1?
3) Is there a command line or simple way to switch between TheaterTek, the digital input and the analog input?
4) I'm worried that if I hook up the sound card directly to the amp Windows will send out some nasty full volume tone that will fry my speakers: Is this a valid concern?
5) Has anyone experimented with or thought about building a passive buffered preamp for all eight channels for better output capabilities?
6) What driver should I be using for the Delta 410?
7) What formats can't be decoded by the 410 used with TheaterTek?
