[QUOTE="MPM, post: 837394, member: 54710"] Hi, I've been struggling with this for a while and cannot figure out if it's a codec, driver or configuration issue. Short story is simply that I cannot play files with HD audio (DTS-HD or TrueHD)... My HTPC is connected to a HD capable AVR (Onkyo TX-NR609) and I have latest SAF package installed (6.05). And of course, I have confirmed a connection to a HD AVR during SAF install... I have installed latest Realtek audio drivers that give me the "Allow AC3/DTS/WMA output" option but after enabling it and restarting I only get DTS Audio and Dolby Digital in the supported formats tab, no HD formats. Have installed and re-installed multiple times with AVR turned on... I have seen a related discussion with similar symptoms ([url]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/codecs-external-players-55/how-play-mkv-dts-hd-91654/#post698571[/url]) and I'm "almost sure":S that I successfully played a DTS-HD file when testing right after install too but solutions shared there were for Intel platform and are not applicable for my system... (Don't have a back-up from that point and don't want to re-install Windows... Yet...) To make the whole story even more strange (at least to me), if I uninstall Realtek audio drivers and go back to Windows' basic ATI audio driver, I will still get the passthrough functionality for other formats even though there is no "Allow AC3/DTS/WMA output" option available. (DTS-HD or TrueHD don't work this way either...) It's probably not relevant given the lack of format support in the driver, but behavior in the MP is that it does nothing if I try to play a file with TrueHD. If I try to play it directly in the GraphEdit, I get the message "The graph could not change state. This pin cannot use the supplied media type. (Return code: 0x8004022a)". It connects it to Default DirectSound Device through LAV Audio Decoder via LAV splitter... Any thoughts?
