Stereo TrueHD/DTS-HD on my 24-bit/192khz soundcard?

[Susan82]

hey guys, I may not own as awesome 7.1 surround system as most of you, but because I'm a singer I own a really good soundcard and good reference-speakers.

So I only want stereo sound (because I only have 2 speakers, tho really really good ones), however since my soundcard is 24bit/192khz I want to make use of the extra bit-rate that TrueHD/DTS has to offer.

Is there any way I can use the HD track when watching my BR movies?
atm I suspect my computer is actually using the 48khz track, altho I don't know how to check, anyone?

I use PowerDVD codec through Media Player Classic (altho I have access to TotalMedia as well)
My soundcard is Konnekt 8

I've searched through the entire forum, but all I can find are threads about how difficult it is to get all the 8 channels out, but again I only want stereo so is there perhaps hope for me?

You need the right codec to get hooked up with your Soundcard. What's your OS version? What type of speakers you're using? Optical? RCA? You may download K-Lite Codec , Win7Codecs which are compatible with your soundcard. Your sound driver , has it been implemented in HD sound compatibility?

To put it simply, it's not going to work. Here's what you need to do Dolby True HD/DTS HD:

1. Power DVD 9 or Arc Soft Total Media Theater 3
2. Sound card with a multi-channel analog output or a video card that supports it, like the ATi 5xxx series.

I think there is not have soundcard and program that can convert 5.1 or 7.1 HD sound to stereo now. If program can convert 5.1 - 7.1 HD sound to stereo, but I think it's not HD sound after conversion.

Like Polygon said, you can use Power DVD 9 or Arc Soft Total Media Theater 3 and soundcard that can decode Dolby True HD/DTS HD (ATi 5xxx series, Asus Xonar HDMV, Auzentech HomeTheater HD) to decode Dolby True HD/DTS HD to your 2 speakers, but you will loss other sound channels.
