Hi All

Looking for some advice on graphics cards that can support 5.1 through HDMI connection. I have a HTPC that I've used for about a year now and the graphics card has gone bang (well I assume it has as I don't get any video output at all now). The box I have is a custom shuttle cube PC so pretty limited with space, also I plan to plug this directly into my AV Receiver again to take advantage of the 5.1 that comes with MKV files. The card I had before allowed me to push the 5.1 out through the HDMI and it work really well giving outstanding results on my AV system, the only downside I had at the time was video quality as it used to jump now and them but I put that down to the drivers or XBMC configuration (never really got to fix that side of it).

Anyway now looking for a decent card that is nice and compact and will alow me to do the above, any help would be much appreciated indeed :)

Many thanks, Xray
