I did everything you said on the 64 bit tab only. I get no sound at all from either HD audio file.

I am connecting my laptop with an HDMI cable to my Denon receiver.

My laptop has an NVIDIA Geforce 9m graphics card. When I updated the driver earlier today, it also installed an HD audio driver.

I do not think this gpu has HDaudio capabilities. (in fact, research shows it does not)

My laptop is several years old, but I figured it would pass the audio track through to the receiver even if the on board graphics card wasn't up to snuff. If I wasted your time, I'm really sorry. When I play a blu-ray in my DVD player, the DTS-HD display lights up on the front of my receiver, so I know it has to be the laptop's hardware or software. The receiver is almost brand new.

The receiver has no issue accepting and decoding HD audio. (from a stanalone blu-ray player)
The laptop is just to old for this. you would need at a minimum, a 460m processor.

Thanks. I've been using your stuff for a long time. I apologize for wasting your valuable time.

I just wired my house with gigabit ethernet. I have a high end blu-ray player in my living room and a streaming media player in my bedroom that are both capable of playing 1080P/DTS-HD files over the network. Will I need to invest in a new laptop or, since both the DVD Player and the Streaming Media Player can open files on my laptop via Cifs and DLNA, can I bypass the laptop's shortcomings and let the DVD player or the streaming media player do the work? Or, since the files are stored on my PC, will I need to move them to an external hard drive?

DLNA just plain sucks. There is little to no hope this will ever change.
I use a Patriot BoxOffice and it has no issues with HD audio/video playback. (updated bios)
If your streaming device can access the files, it should also be able to play them without use of DLNA.

In other words, I need to use the CIFS (Windows Network Shares) browser to open the dts-hd file instead of the media server library browser (DLNA). Back when I was on wifi, DLNA worked a lot better than CIFS for HD content, but now that I'm wired, they both stream HD just fine. I just bought a new DTS-HD capable receiver, so I haven't been able to test it out with a streamed dts-hd mkv video file yet.

With Geforce 9XXX is fed audio from the sound card via SPDIF into the HDMI signal from the graphics card.
Via SPDIF there is no DTS-HD and DD TrueHD, which is just as bitstream with HDMI >1.3 possible (NVIDIA >GT 210).
