[SurroundSound] Re: WAV-DTS playback on HPTC

Your sound chip (onboard or sound card?) could be the problem.

Most of chips do internal upsampling to 48 kHz, then resampling back
to 44.1 kHz if that is desired. DTS is 48 kHz, but even though 48 kHz
option can be checked it just resamples it anyway, twice. In the
process DTS gets damaged so your AV receiver can't decode it. Funny
thing is, at the same time this does not affect DTS in the movies.

I solved this problem by burning CD's and listening to them on CD/DVD/
PS3 components - anything with S/PDIF output can be used!
Or you could invest in some of "bit-perfect" sound cards with S/PDIF.
