Title: GA-P55-USB3 Cannot stream Dolby TrueHD or DTS-HD Master Audio
Post by: aiello on November 14, 2010, 12:29:37 pm
I am using a GA-P55-USB3 motherboard with Intel Core i3-540 processor.  I have been unable to stream Dolby TrueHD or DTS-HD Master Audio to my audio receiver.  I am using the HDMI output of the motherboard to my receiver since both the SPDIF and optical out I know does not support bit streaming this high def audio formats.  I have been successful to stream Dolby Digital via the HDMI output.

I believe that when using the HDMI output, I am using the Intel audio and not the Realtek ALC892.  I also think that the Realtek will not support any high def audio format.

Has anyone been able to get this to work?

If not, and I need to buy a separate sound card, can I combine the audio signal onto the same HDMI cable?

Thanks
