This week, Auzentech updated their X-FI Prelude drivers for improved Dolby Digital Live support. Why is this important? This proves that Auzentech is a company that is willing to increase the performance of their product through timely release of driver updates, something Creative is notoriously bad at doing.

While somewhat pricey, the X-Fi Prelude appears to be the best audio solution right now for home theater PCs. From the Auzentech website:

With Dolby Digital Live, your PC or game console can be hooked up to your Dolby Digital-equipped audio/video receiver or digital speaker system via a single digital connection, eliminating the confusion of multiple cables and ensuring the integrity of the audio signal.

Basically this means you can pass 5.1 sounds to a receiver from you computer using a digital connection. Look for a HDMI extension board soon.
