The wiki for MPAR says "The MediaPortal Audio Renderer is able to encode the audio again to AC3 . . ."

Is that true? The reason I ask is that Windows refuses to recognize more than 2 channels, or to send PCM (the AVR supports it) to the AVR over HDMI, but will send AC3, DTS, etc. If I follow this thread's recommendations, I get stereo if I select stereo in LAV's mixing, and I get no sound at all if I select 5.1.

Here is my "sound formats" screen. [ATTACH=full]130809[/ATTACH]
I've tried everything I can think of to get more than 2 channels listed. Drivers are latest.

So I do not use MPAR, and do use LAV's bitstreaming, which works fine for audio. But when playing 23.976 material, I get tearing near the bottom of the screen. (The TV supports 24, 25, 30, 50, 60, I think.)

Does anybody recommend anything else to try?
