[QUOTE="nzdreamer55, post: 1034109, member: 106790"] Hello everyone, I am running windows 8 with MP 1.4. I am using the LAV audio decoder 0.58.2. I have a sound system (5.1) that is connected to my HTPC via the motherboard Toslink. The issue that I have is that I have various things that are played through MP and thus am having various levels of audio quality. I would like to set the LAV decoder so that I get the best audio output given what is played through media portal. No all my audio is Dolby Digital and and I am not sure what to check within the proprieties. Do I need to enable the mixing? If an audio source already is 5.1 does the mixing level control what volume comes from the speakers? Does a mixing level of 0 mean that no sound comes from the channel (e.g. if LFE is 0 does this mean nothing comes through the subwoofer)? Do I want to Normalize Matrix? Do I want Dolby Pro Logic Matrix Encoding? Do I want to apply DRC? If so what level do I want to use? Do I want to Bitstream? I am connecting to the speaker system with a toslink. Do I want to convert Output to Standard Channel Layouts? With so many different audio formats, (streamed over internet, torrent files, MP3) it is hard to know how to set this up. I have tried so many things, but cannot figure out what some of these do. Any help is appreciated. Thanks -S [/QUOTE]
