I can only seem to output dolby digital from my pc to my receiver. I want to play my blurays in dolby truehd, my receiver is capable of it and my video card is a gtx 460, which can output dolby truehd. any suggestions? what bluray player should I use? I have tried powerdvd11 ultra

    I have the same issue...

    Have not yet resolved this but I will say PowerDVD II sounds a hell of alot better than Coral WINDVD
    - Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit.

    figured it out. updated powerdvd 11 and was able to select uncompressed hd audio as output, still wouldnt' work. tried a 1.4 hdmi instead of my unknown type, still didnt work. then I learned I have to go to the blu-ray settings menu on the disk and change language from english to english truehd and then it worked :D
