Hey all,
I have a HTPC with an nVidia video card - GTX 960. Been running it for at least 6 months without really any trouble, but a couple of days ago, after updating the video drivers, I realized that DTS-HD and Dolby TrueHD wasn't being passed into my receiver any longer.
After a lot of troubleshooting, I found that they were no longer listed in the "Supported Formats" when I looked at the HDMI out in the Windows Playback Devices section. I did a lot more troubleshooting, including reformatting my PC (which has been running Windows 8.1), installing Windows 10, and eventually going back to 8.1, I found the following facts:
1) If I use the nVidia drivers from early August (355.60) I have DTS-HD and Dolby TrueHD show up and work.
2) If I upgrade to ANY driver revision newer, they disappear.
3) This has to do with the Display driver, and not the audio one. Changing the Audio driver doesn't make any difference.
Right now I'm using the nVidia card because it has HDMI 2.0; everything else in my Home Theater is 4K capable, so I wanted a video card that would be as well, which doesn't give me many options.
Has anyone else noticed this? Is there a way to force the nVidia driver to re-enable DTS-HD and TrueHD?
