August 3, 201213 yr Author I wonder why you favour windows with xbmc on top, rather than OpenELEC? Well, i dont favor windows, i favor openelec. But it seems openelec doesnt support hdaudio, only windows does... So the choice is made then... I do want hdaudio!

It is claimed (3 months ago) that OpenELEC can support DTS-HD and TrueHD - see this post. If it doesn't work properly right now, I'm sure that it will in the near future. I don't have an HD decoder, but films with dts-hd soundtrack only do play perfectly well through my non-hd 5.1 system (on an optical s/pdif connection). I don't know whether that counts for anything - I'm kind of green in the area of video technology.

People that care about DTS-HD and TrueHD generally want the audio bit-streamed (not modified) to their receiver.
