To get these to work you need to have a sound card capable of it, and that has the licensing that allows it.

Then the signal can be sent over spdif to your receiver where it treats it just like it does any DD encoded movie.

If your receiver does not have multichannel analog inputs, or your onboard sound only has stereo analog outputs (rare for a desktop), that's when you need DDL.ДDL takes the discrete channels coming from the games and encodes them into the Dolby Digital format on the fly. When you set them to surround sound mode the game outputs multiple discrete channels that are really designed to be output over the multichannel analog outputs from your sound card (and this is really the best way to go in terms of sound quality). Just pick whichever of your receiver's surround modes sound the best. You can play it over analog or digital, but the only way your are going to get it to come out of surround speakers is pro-logic or something like that to create artificial surround. Music is recorded in 2 channel stereo 90% of the time. Play your movie, your reciever's DD light should turn on and everything should be working.

(someone back me up here)Д¤) For MKV files with DD tracks, I prefer Media Player Classic- Home Cinema (MPC-HC), here's how to set it up:ДЎ) Open MPC-HC and right click the player window and select options.Дў) Under playback select Output and set your Audio Renderer to System Default or SPDIF (useful if you want to use analog for everything else).ДЈ)Click Internal Filters on the left and make sure AC3 and DTS are checked.Д¤) Under Transform filters double click the bold AC3 and DTS.ДҐ) Under decoder settings change the default from decode to speakers to SPDIF (ie passthrough)

If you want to do this on your computer all you need to do is set your pc to pass the DD or DTS signal through the SPDIF connection without touching it.ДЎ) Go to playback devices control panel and set your SPDIF as the default device.Дў) Select it and click properties, then under supported formats make sure DD and DTS are selected.ДЈ) Make sure your movie file actually has a DD soundtrack (you can use MediaInfo for this, look for 6 channel AC3)Д¤) For DVDs, Win Media Player is pretty simple is should just work automatically. So if you want to watch a movie in dolby digital is needs to have a DD track in the movie file or DVD. They key here is that they are all pre-encoded. Intel is generally high quality but I've never had any issues with Realtek chips, and you would most likely not see any performance difference.First off, I think you have some confusion about Dolby Digital and DDL.Дolby Digital (aka AC3) and DTS are multichannel encoding formats used mostly in movies. For the onboard LAN you will most likely not notice any difference. The extra 2 6Gb/s ports are most likely not needed either (you still get 6 ports on the Z87-A). I think it's better to have a PCI slot for backwards compatibility (the Z87-A still has 2 PCIe x1 slots if you need one). Realtek ALC892 instead of Realtek ALC1150Д¬hances are you won't use the extra PCIe x1 slot. Realtek 8111GR LAN instead of Intel I217V It's about 100 dollars cheaper and you lose:Дў SATA 6Gb/s ports (from ASMedia controller) Chances are you won't really get any noticeable benefit from the better sound on the VI HERO, and even if you do you'd still be better of putting the money you save on the motherboard into a real AMP/DAC such as the FiiO E10.Д®dit: Actually, if I am allowed to make a motherboard suggestion even if it's the audio forum, I would go with the Asus Z87-A motherboard. Asus doesn't really give any specifications on their website so it's hard to figure out which chip it really is.ДЄnyway, if you're thinking of getting the VI HERO just for the better sound then don't do it.

Supreme FX is a realtek chip (can't remember which one) with some software from Creative and a bit of extra shielding from interference if I understand it correctly.
