maybe this will help.
For registering codecs, one of the beauties of MPC-HC is that you usually don’t need any. The built in codecs, along with ffdshow
are all that is needed for 99% of the BluRays I’ve come across. However, any external codec installed should be available via MPC-
HC’s External Filters list – assuming the codec is set as “preferred”, MPC-HC will attempt to load the higher ones on the list
first.

I have never used foobar so can’ say for sure what this issue is. As far as multi channel flac in MPC HC the issue is that Windows Mixer gets its hands on your flac file which is causing the problems you hear. You need to set up WASAPI Exclusive mode using Reclock to ensure tha your flac files bypass Windows Mixer. With foobar I believe you can set up WASAPI exclusive mode as well. Here is a good guide on how to set up Reclock:

Sounds like you have either:
A) Windows set to stereo (in the playback devices configuration), or
B) ffdshow’s mixer set to stereo.
Also, you don’t need Reclock to get 6 channel LPCM, but it’s probably the only way to get bit-for-bit LPCM to your AVR. Having the
movie in an mkv is even better still, since you can take ffdshow out of the equation as well (plus giving you the option of
compressing LPCM to flac.)
