    Hi. I'm having trouble playing back ALAC files (lossless from iTunes) in Mediaportal, even though I have a compatible directshow filter for them, and they play back fine in Graphstudio.

    All my MP3s and FLACs play fine in Mediaportal, it's just these ALACs that are giving me grief, but I thought all would be fine as soon as I installed the proper codec. Apparently not. The strangest thing is the fact that all works fine in GraphStudio, and the files play back beautifully. Here's what I get when I drop one of these files on GraphStudio. Extension is M4A, by the way...

    Any ideas would be appreciated!

    :D

    Hmm... apparently the Shark007 codec pack already includes it, but I found that simply downloading and reinstalling the DC-Bass DS Filter did the trick, and now my ALAC files work in MP. When I graphstudio them I get DC-Bass Filter -> Audio Renderer, or I can go DC-Bass Filter -> ffdshow audio decoder -> Audio Renderer.

    Hope that helps anyone having similar issues. I have a new issue with FLAC, which I'm going to post in a new topic.
