<p>This is awesome news. Does this support the Colossus 2
PCIe card (<a class="m_-1795739502635164513m_6981746473655325139moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.hauppauge.com/pages/products/data_colossus2.html" target="_blank">http://www.hauppauge.com/pages/products/data_colossus2.html</a>)?<br>

<div>Yes, it supports the Colossus2. Do read the Trouble
Shooting section, though.<br>

Hi John,<br>
<br>
Thanks for all of your work on this. I'm sure it will make a lot of
people very happy. Two questions, though:<br>
<br>
1. Just to confirm, because your answer implies that you may not be
answering the correct question: Does your modified driver work with
the *PCIe* card version of the Colossus 2?<br></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I was not aware that Hauppauge made a non-PCIe version of the Colossus 2. Can you give me more information about it? Maybe a URL to their production page for it?<br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div text="#000000" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<br>
2. I know the Colossus 2 supports AC-3, but does it encode more
than two channels of audio? The vast majority of products out there
that say they handle AC-3 will not encode 5.1 or more channels.<br></div></blockquote><div> <br></div><div>AC3 5.1 works, but only via the S/PDIF input. And currently, only when using the HDMI for video. I realize that that does not make any sense, but that is what currently works. At one point, I had a version hacked up to get S/PDIF working with COMPONENT, but I have lost that patch, and will have to re-figure it out. The README.me included on github talks about what will be necessary to get 5.1 working via HDMI, according to Hauppauge.<br><br></div><div>John<br></div></div></div>
