spdif only transports upto 5.1 channels. You’ll need a card with native hdmi (I don’t know if one exists yet), or revert to the old multiple jack solution; you know 2 ch./jack on many soundcards.

Yes you'll need AC3filter or the ffdShow audio codec to decode audio such as DD or DTS. Both of these should allow you to configure which codecs are decoded and which are pass-through to your AV receiver. If you're happy with the video decoder as it is then I'd suggest you go with AC3filter as that will introduce fewer new components to your system. Hope this helps, let me know how it goes.

Hopefully you’ll see this, but what about audio? Would I still need AC3 filter? I do play divx files that have 5.1 ac3 audio. And have played mkv files with dts and probably dolby something or other as well. I’m using MCE 90% of the time.

I own windows 7 x64 no codecs installed yet on an ATI 785G board using onboard realtek sound with spdif to DD DTS 5.1 receiver. 7.1 Dolby True-HD etc don’t matter to me and can all get downmixed to 5.1 hopefully. Thanks a ton if you can shed some light on this and give me some pointers on making sure surround audio comes through. Thanks.
