Hi Mark, re: Dolby Digital support on nForce boards. I have an Abit NV7-133R board. The Nvidia audio driver (nvaudio) is apparently the i810 sound driver reworked to work with the chipset's APU. So no DD support. Under Windows I think they license code from Sensaura for the multi channel encoding.
It would fantastic to get DD on Linux somehow. The audio capabilities were a big part of why I decided on an nForce board. cheers, ::mark > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On > Behalf Of Mark Chou > Sent: Friday, December 06, 2002 11:53 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [expert] linux on nvidia nforce > > > > Mark (Williamson), thanks for the pointers.
