[mythtv-users] HDMI and Audio Return Channel

[Phill Edwards]

I have just bought a new HDMI cable which supports Audio Return
Channel and I wanted to understand better what this will allow me to
do.

99% of the time I want to watch TV recordings and play the sound back
through the TV speakers. That's what I've been doing to date with my
existing DVI --> HDMI cable. But I also have an AV receiver and I'd
like to set things up so that when I play a DVD from MythFrontend the
sound plays through the receiver so that I get Dolby 5.1, DTS etc.

Will this fancy new HDMI cable with Audio Return Channel allow me to
do that somehow? If not, what's the best way of achieving that?

Regards,
Phill
