[QUOTE="Tancor, post: 319063, member: 83237"] Hi! I only use the FFDShow Audio codec in the movies section currently - the DVD is handled by an external player (TheaterTek), and although I have the TV server/client installed, I don't currently use it (due to another problem with not knowing how to make it control my DISH network box). Ok - now here's another wierd thing, and it may be a partially due to a misunderstanding on my part - I was under the impression that the optical feed is an spdif feed - the optical audio feed is all I have connected between my HTPC and my receiver/amp. When I use the MPA audio decoder, I don't get the 5.1 audio out, but I do have volume control via media portal. It's only when I use the ffdshow audio that I no longer have local audio control. Are there multiple forms of optical audio control not spdif (sorry for the noob question, but I really don't know)? I know that the audio signals are sent thru the optical connection as that is the ONLY audio connection between my pc and the receiver, and I know I have volume control via HTPC if I use the MPA decoder. Once again, I appologize for what must seem like a silly question =) -Tony [/QUOTE]
