Hello Jean-Yves,

This leads me to a follow on question or clarification.

I have run the scan on 0.25.  After selecting the right nvidia device, 
the boxes for the HD audio (TrueHD, DTS-HD, etc) are not grey'ed out, 
but they are also not checked.  My receiver and nvidia card should 
support these.

So I wasn't sure if the scan is telling me that those are not supported, 
or if I should just go to those boxes and check them to enable them.
