Have to check if DTS-HD is intended to describe DTS-HD MA in AE simply because of [[forum:154313|[Linux] DTS-HD Master Audio forum thread]] it reports disabling DTS-HD passthough enables DTS-HD MA, I cant test this becase I dont have HD audio receiver.

'''<nowiki>*</nowiki>''' Where AVR has HDMI inputs but can't decode HD audio
 
'''<nowiki>**</nowiki>''' WASAPI offers best quality if connected to an AVR or DAC but may not always work, and Directsound offers better compatibility and should work in just about all equipment configurations. The only time WASAPI must be used is when trying to passthrough HD audio.
