I have my HTPC hooked up to the AVR via HDMi, any suggestions on the best audio output quality for music?
I've tried, J River, iTunes, and Foobar and i think AirPlay offers the best sound. The only problem is once it starts, i can no longer see my screen from the computer.
I've mediocre sound from movies played on my PC. Are there specific files I need in the codec or player that will help? I'm using VLC. Is the data from audio tracks in movies (DTS, AC-3, etc), transmitted through HDMI, and processed in the AVR? I'm a bit fuzzy in how this process works. If anyone could shed some light, I would really appreciate it.
