There are a lot of posts but I am unclear whether there is a final solution. Will either of these boards let me get DD/DTS passthrough to my Sound Blaster LIVE 5.1 (which is set to pass PCM right to my receiver)?

Well I don't know why they would...these are video cards not sound cards.


I believe you are looking for the new card from M-Audio which is due out any day now.

The all in wonder should through its own s/pdif using either the ATI player or WinDVD.

I presume loganross means the DVD player 5.0 which comes with the 8500/AIW now, rather than the card itself. 5.0 apparently can only manage pro-logic, not digital sound passthrough. Unfortunately, I can't answer the question though
