DTS Master Audio and Dolby TrueHD on my i3 core HTPC

[asdfxyz1]

How did you do that wiring?

[Pokekevin]

Looks great! I recently just got my htpc set up working and couldnt get that audio pass through working on my nvidia card -_- MAJOR pain

[icwt]

What model integra is that?

[thelegendarypaki]

Which media Center is this? looks too good to be WMC...

[raymondleeleggs]

That big tv those litle speakers :D

[tiuh79]

hi, it looks fine, i have 2 questions:

- what media center are you using?

- do you use a remote control? if so, what kind of control do you use

[lswope03]

Integra's are really nice 50.2 is next for me

[cactuskid007]

THE ONLY TRU HD IS BLURAY ,,NOT STREAMING

[flyboy21141]

@cactuskid007 not true. with high enough internet speeds, one can easily stream a compressed HD video.

[cactuskid007]

@flyboy21141 still not as good "FACT"

[JairusJ]

were do you get your videos from

[ranagill]

very nice setup, could you tell us your total cost for the system? Im thinking of doing somthing similar, if I can get my hands on a InfiniTV4 card.

[kkeithan]

@ranagill

I had a hard drive laying around but you can build this for sub 500 bucks.

[polyglot1234]

@kkeithan - have you added a blu-ray drive yet? does it work fine without a separate video card? That is the same set up I'm looking forward to build with a blu-ray drive, but that is my only hesitation, unable to determine if 1080p playback will lag?

[kkeithan]

@polyglot1234

Yep, it works great without a video card. I love this setup, work great! I never needed a bluray drive, just a DVD drive. 1080p works with no issues, you will be fine.

[kkeithan]

@polyglot1234

No Bluray drive yet. Maybe I will order one for Christmas. I am streaming 1080p content from the drobo in my basement which has no lag what so ever.

[KolerikRocks]

do u play your Wii and if so what's your Wii number and do u got mario kart?

[zaknanny]

usb3.0 with an i3,... what a waste

[gwalia4]

@zaknanny what are you talking about? usb 3.0 motherboards are only 20 dollar more.

[snooglehead]

@zaknanny, why is that a waste, usb 3.0 is faster for backing up, doesn't matter wich cpu.. all those noobs on youtube, who don't know anything about pcs.

[kkeithan]

@zaknanny

Not sure why you think this is a waste. Can you explain?

I'm using 1Gb ethernet to stream my movies to the HTPC and don't have any current plans on using USB3, but I am glad it was included. The i3 should be plenty fast enough to use USB3...

@kkeithan

Nice tv - i also have a Pioneer G9. It's awesome!

And i also have the same setup. I'm running Ubuntu, but it's too hard to get to function without getting the hands dirty in a terminal. Are you using Windows Media Center? - i'm at the brink of going back to Windows..

[Pepsiaddicto]

@Anima87 Get a Mac with Plex.

[Anima87]

@Pepsiaddicto ROFL, why get an overpriced piece of kit when i have something that works great? - Installing Windows and getting it all to work took 1 hour.

[FEGTTTSDH]

@Pepsiaddicto MAC OS??? NEVER IN MY LIFE

[smoothlarryhughes]

What kind of movie files are you running? Also do you have to use any codec pack to pass the dolby/true hd sound to your receiver?

[kkeithan]

@smoothlarryhughes

I can play any file format but the TrueHD file was .m2ts extension and the DTSMA was .mkv.

I run the Shark007 codec pack for win7.

Sweet Set Up!

@cyborg251
