Sorry I just reread thread and saw you mentioned that.

What model receiver are you using? If it is an older one it might not be compatible. There was some gripes about that a few years back when ATi first started doing it. IE RD740, DHR904 etc

"5850 supports 8 Channel Linear PCM, Dolby True-HD, and DTS-Master"

That said, DDT-HD and DTS-M are passthrough modes NOT going to turn a music file into those formats.

Are you just working with Windows sounds at this point?

If so try DDL and DTS formats and test those in surround mode. (via audio properties in control panel)

I never got to play with Receiver HDMI and am not looking forward to the day when I upgrade my receiver to HDMI, as not all of them will do it. At least according to the many frustrated users I have seen posting about it over the last couple of years.

I will help out how I can with info, since I have read up on it before, but going to a site like AVSforums or maybe even overclockers.com will get you the answers you want.
