So after 2 and a half months of kicking frustration over my previous graphics card (check my pc build thread if you want more details) I finally have a very stable card with no issues. Now I want to see if it can do more. I have a Sapphire HD 5770 card now. As far as HD audio over HDMI, can anyone elaborate on this a little bit. Does it bypass my PCI sound card? Can I use both of them with out having to go into setting and change things, not necessarily at the same time? Does it bitstream or send it as PCM (not that it matters, I guess, I would just once like to see those lights come on my receiver) I would love to just run HDMI to my receiver instead of streaming through my PS3 to eliminate any firewall or buffering issues. Honestly, I could take the time and find out for myself, but I'm in the middle of holiday shopping season and simply do not have the energy to do it (I'm on the selling end, not the buying end
). If anyone would like to help me out, I would greatly appreciate it. Also, if it is possible to just run HDMI to the receiver and output audio through both places without changing anything, could someone link or describe the setup of that as well? As always, thanks for all your help in advance.
Mike
