In this case the PC will decode the flac to seperate LPCM channels, which are then transfered to the receiver through the HDMI connection. The third solution is possible if your PCs graphic card is equipped with a HDMI output which is capable to transfer at least six LPCM channels through HDMI, like the newest ATI or NVidia cards, and the receiver has an HDMI input. The disadvantage in this solution is that ac3 is a lossy compression format, so you would loose quality when using this method. It is able to decode the 5.1 flac and to reencode it on-the-fly into a 5.1 ac3 signal, which can be transfered through your spdif connection. The second solution would be to use ffdshow. In this case the PC will decode the 5.1 flac to six seperate channels, and the receiver will play them via the analog connection. If your receiver has at least one analog 5.1 input ( via six RCA jacks ) and your computer has a 5.1 capable sound card, you may connect the PC to your receiver using three cables with a 3,5mm stereo plug on one side ( PC ) and two RCA connectors on the other side. can't be transfered through a spdif connection, because the bandwidth of the spdif connection is to small for those newer formats. Everything else like multichannel flac, TrueHD, DTS-MA etc. SPDIF can only transfer ac3, dts or LPCM stereo signals.
