This driver does nothing to address the netflix bug that dozens have confirmed since December. Again, it is not a "5.1" issue and the imprecise way it is described above makes me wonder whether any proper testing has ever been done for this bug. It is rather simple. Grab a Haswell NUC and load a fresh copy of Windows 8.1. Set it to bitstream to an avr. Run the metro Netflix app and try to play House of Cards (the new one -- not the UK original from 1990). Do not select other programs because this only affects the premier shows on netflix.Try to play with Dolby Digital Plus with the avr reporting DD+. It will not work.
Not 5.1 and not dolby digital. Dolby Digital Plus. There is a huge difference. If I sound a bit snippy it is because this is a fantastic piece of hardware and I just want it to work and I am disappointed there has been zero progress.
