ffdshow + DTS + 8 channel input = error (1 Viewer)

[happymaster23]

Hello,

for first - I am sorry that I am not attaching log from MediaPortal, presently I don´t have access to this computer, but if neccessary, I will post it later.

I have HTPC with basic Realtek audio connected via optic cable to home theatre decoder. In ffdshow I have switched on DTS audio. When I am playing movies with 6 channel audio (DTS), everything works great, but when I try movie with 8 channel audio, movie will not start playing. If I uncheck DTS in ffdshow properties, it works, but only with Dolby Digital sound.

So my question - what I need to set (what, where?) to be able to play 8 channel audio with DTS through optical cable.

Thank you very much for your advice

Hi..

I think you should first explain more about your problems, your system, and what kind of movie, format and such... And probably read some specs for DTS

DTS (sound system)

For what it seems for me, you try to send DTS-hd over spdif... standard DTS don't support 8 channels..

in addition to above spdif (optical) doesn't supoprt DTS-HD as it doesn't have enough bandwidth, you have to use HDMI for DTS-HD

Have you tried enabling the ffdshow mixer to mix down to 5.1?
