Hello!
I have some questions about gaming & lossless 5.1 surround.
How I'm planning to set it up;
- hdmi cable from 670 GTX to receiver which is ofc also connected to speakers.
What I want;
Lossless surround sound from blu-ray movies & most importantly gaming.
Where of course codecs such as Dolby TrueHD and Dht-hd master matters.
1. Do I need Dolby Digital or DTS for 5.1 gaming (Or Dolby Digital Live for that matter) if I use a HDMI from GPU to receiver and send the signal as bitstream, or "raw" PCM? Letting the receiver convert it to analog?
2. The reason I'm asking the above is because I'm always reading about analog and 5.1 surround. Analog cables aren't really -NEEDED- for 5.1 lossless surround sound in gaming, is it?
3. Do I need a sound card?
Thanks!
