I realize that this is beyond the scope of this thread but what would be involved is adding an MHR interface(or possibly I2S) to use a CLUX with a 565(Z3)?
Would this even be possible technically?

Would this even be possible technically? The 565 does not support a discrete multi-channel input. You are stuck with Dolby Digital and DTS bitstreams, I'm afraid.

"DVI does not have audio on its pins"
There are no extra pins for audio on a HDMI connection. The audio is carried in the VBI of the video signal.

" I know of a couple of people having it between their HTPC source and HDMI reciever, when they turn off their projector the graphics card no longer turns off the HDMI port - and the audio is passed through."
Thanks, that sounds promising.
Is it between the HTPC and receiver or between the receiver and their projector?
Thanks,
Shawn

For those that were interested in the modded CLUXs I have a 4x available now and will have more available as the week goes on. I just need to know if one wants it with the 3x or 4x board installed. These have RCAs for their outputs and have universal power supplies with interchangeable plugs.
Thanks,
Shawn Where do we sign up, Shawn? dpstjp

I ordered a DVI Detective Plus to see how it works with the CLUX.

Is it between the HTPC and receiver or between the receiver and their projector? Between the HTPC and the reciever. One had problems when he switched output HDMI port on his reciever between the projector and plasma, he often got "EDID drop-out". The DVI Detective Plus solved that. Hopefully a modified CLUX + a detective will be a usable solution for me.

I should have the Gefen late this week/early next week so I will know more about it pretty soon.
Thanks,

yipppeee!
just a quick note to say thanks Shawn!!
Your mod works like a dream, PS3 doing Bluray operations - this really works... am blown away by the sound improvement.
I will be relegating my G91 to second room function or selling it very soon!
