I rip all my BR to my harddrive with full HD audio. My HTPC currently doesn't have the capacity to bitstream HD audio (I'm waiting to pull the trigger on a ASUS Xonar or newer ATI 5000 series video card). When playing the movie, I can select the DTS_MA stream or standard DTS 5.1. I can play the core audio from the DTS_MA stream just fine until a layer shift in the file, then I get white noise and have to switch back to the standard DTS stream. If I start the movie over and fast forward through the layer shift, the HD core plays fine. If I start the movie in the lower DTS 5.1 if plays fine throughout. I can't test the HD audio stream yet to find out in it's bitstream will have the same problem. I now pretty much start all the movies without the HD stream selected but sure don't want to find out that after a hardware update I'll be in the same boat. Anyone experiencing the same issue?
Anyone bitstreaming the HD audio without problems? What hardware? Thanks.
