Audio in my myth system is sent to a USB sound device (Xitel Hifi link
Pro) and then via spdif to a Logitech 5500 which does DTS (usually).

I have passthrough DTS ticked in the myth config.

However myth plays the sound badly, chipmunked would be a partial
description. Kinda retarded is how the kids described it.

xbmc plays it fine.

Any ideas? (sorry if I am too vague on settings, the kids are now
watching the file, in xbmc I am sad to say!)
