I was thinking about upgrading my sound sytem to a home theater system, for my computer, and I have been doing some research on the topic.
I read this in a "Home Theater PC 101 FAQ"
For example: if your card won’t pass Dolby Digital 5.1 (AC-3) or DTS streams over S/PDIF (Sony/Philips Digital Interconnect Format, the de facto standard in digital audio connection), then it probably won’t do you much good in an HTPC environment.
I was wondering if the onboard sound on the AI7 can pass a Dolby Digital 5.1 signal over the S/PDIF. Thanks.
