HD 5450 How do I Setup Bitstream Audio

[burtonpark]

I am trying to setup an HD5450, and have downloaded the ATI CCC and enable bitstreaming in the ATI driver. However when I play a movie I get an Sage error "problem rendering audio".

Could someone else with a 5450 setup, advise how best to setup the CCC options and/or Sage codec options make it work well with Sage.

babgvant posted a guide for installing sagetv 7 and in it shows the steps to install ffdshow to enable bitstreaming of the hd audio formats in the sage player. Hope this helps

Thanks for the pointer, I'm wondering how specific that is to the native support the HD5450 offers in H/W?

This works great burtonpark.

Quick Guide: How to Bitstream Audio in Windows 7 Warning... Shark007 installs Bing Bar without warning. You'll need to remove it via add/remove programs. I'm currently looking into another codec pack that provides the same functionality but doesn't install Bing.

Apparantly enough people gave shark hell about it so he posted 2 reg files that make Bing think it's installed so it won't install. I tested on Win7 x64 in a VM and they worked; no trace of the bing bar.

@GollyJer I'll try to run through the shark pack again this weekend and I'll post my results on your blag. I haven't forgotten, just haven't had time when I could work on the box that it wouldn't conflict with it's duties Although, I would rather just use an SVN build of ffdshow and install the PowerDVD codecs manually. I haven't been able to figure out the PowerDVD part yet though.

Which is why Shark007 is so nice. :-) That, and the simplicity with which you can disable Media Foundation (the settings on the SWAP tab), make it well worth the install. Hope to hear from you on the blog.
