    So i just go a DisplayPort to HDMI cable with the intention of doing DisplayPort++ video AND audio over HDMI to my nice new HDTV. Video works great. But I am having a hard time figuring out audio.

    I have narrowed it down to a problem with AC3Filter using the SPDIF device (I believe the SPDIF device IS the DisplayPort?). The error in AC3Filter under the SPDIF status is: Disabled (SPDIF output is not supported).

    Wondering if anyone might know how to gain control of the SPDIF device to output video PCM audio to my TV.

    Thanks!
