Xbox 360 HDMI

[Soundwave]

Hi Guys,

Might be a bit of a silly question but do 360's carry audio over HDMI??

They do, but not HD Audio. Just the standard Dolby Digital, DTS and 2.0 PCM.

Thanks for that.

Not too worried about HD Audio.
It's just I'm going to upgrade my Amp to one with HDMi Inputs & just wondered if I'd need to worry about extra Toslink inputs or not for 360.

Thanks again

Neil

Didn't know HD Audio existed 'til seeing this thread. Just read the Wikipedia definition of what it is, but does it sound notably superior to Dolby Digital or Dolby DTS?

Well, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD and LPCM are losslessly encoded, whereas standard Dolby Digital and DTS are 'lossy' encoded, like Mp3s etc. Whether or not you can hear a difference depends on the individual person.
