n2o Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Hello everyone, I just joined the forum and appreciate all the information on this website. I am researching a problem that I was hoping you could help with. I have a laptop driving a 4k display using displayport 1.2 (3840x2160@60Hz). I'd like to get the audio stream (intel display audio) into my receiver but cannot find any displayport audio extractors. I could use HDMI but then my display could only run at 30Hz (looks horrible). I've looked into USB-to-SPDIF devices, but I don't believe those won't provide 5.1 sound from Netflix/PowerDVD/MPC. Anyone have thoughts how I can get bit-perfect stereo audio into my receiver when playing music as well as 5.1 Dolby/DTS encoded sound when watching movies? Thanks, Nathan Link to comment
ecwl Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 I think there are specific USB external sound cards designed for this. Like Sound Blaster X-Fi Surround 5.1 Pro. So you'll just hook up the Toslink from the sound card to the receiver. Link to comment
