HD Audio Everything You Need to Know

 

I know many GeekTonic readers are Home Theater Geeks and some are serious about the audio side of their media.  MissingRemote has a very useful cheat-sheet breaking down what each audio codec is, what it can and can't do as well as information on how to wire your ideal setup.

Blue-ray audio, Dobly Digital, DTS, S/PDIF, HDMI, analog and more - their all covered.  And since there are plenty of HTPC fans here, you'll want to check out the HTPC playback section.  Even if you are already a little familiar with this audio stuff, I highly recommend this article as a must read.
