Ya I checked that.  I am getting audio out of the center channel and it 
does contain the dialog its just the music is totally blowing it away. 
Can anyone comment on HD BW audio from 10/11?

Thanks,

I have alsa/myth configured for spdif passthrough for AC3 and DTS audio. As
such the receiver performs the audio translation and not the PC.
I recorded and watched BW without audio issues on my system.
I am however probably located in a different coverage area than you.
I am in Massachusetts getting my HD from Comcast Cable based out of
Westford.
