Hi, i'm wondering if anyone else has had this issue and if so might know the root of the problem.
I have recently upgraded my TV to a 47" Panasonic 3D jobby (TXL47FT60B).
In doing so, I've had to upgrade by graphics card to support HDMI 1.4 so I've moved from an old GeForce 7900GT (DVI -> HDMI converter) to a 610GT (HDMI -> HDMI) (cheap and cheerful I know, but this isn't a gaming rig my any means)
The spec of the PC for reference is an i3, 4GB Ram, 60GB SSD.
with the old 7900GT the audio came via optical from the on-board sound chip, and it would play extremely high quality video (17GB mkv files) passing DTS-HD straight through to the AV receiver without a glitch.
Now I thought i'd move to using HDMI audio, but playing the same video it stutters (not in the way that a loss of bandwidth would stutter, its just glitchy). (BTW i'm using VLC and MPC to test this). I normally use MPC for these things, but to check that there wasn't an issue with MPC i installed VLC and everything played smoothly, it was then that i noticed i hadn't set up VLC to pass through the audio to the receiver. As soon as i told it to do this, the played started to glitch.
Now i had the same problem using the onboard HDMI (intel HD onboard graphics). What do you think it might be? could it be that the cheap 610GT just doesn't had enough bandwidth to cope with that amount of data or something else?
I haven't yet reverted back to using the optical for audio to prove my theory but i will be doing that tonight after work.
thanks in advance!
