[QUOTE="Paranoid Delusion, post: 332822, member: 13176"] Sorry went out, so did not see you already did this. MPA and MPV are not great codecs anyway, you have a couple of choices, which way you do things is upto you. I use powerdvd for mpeg2 video (download trial) and ffdshow for all my audio. I do not know which codecs you have installed for avi\divx files, i personally use the Vista codec pack for both windows Vista and XP, this contains the latest FFDShow Tryouts version, or you can just just download the [URL="http://ffdshow-tryout.sourceforge.net/"]standalone version from here.[/URL] Now there are a couple of settings you need to alter, open up the ffdshow audio config\codecs section, change the MP1\MP2 from libmad to libavcodec, this allows you to listen to BBC radio five and a couple of other stations that have a unique transmission format, so your screen should look like this. [ATTACH]29383.vB[/ATTACH] Next we set up your speakers, enable the mixer tab by ticking it, choose your preferred speaker setup + LFE, enable upmix stereo if you wish and you should have something like below. [ATTACH]29384.vB[/ATTACH] That's it for basic setup, now just change all your audio to ffdshow in MP's config, ie TV\DVD\Movies By the way if you do go the VCP route uninstall any codec's\packs (except realplayer or Quicktime) you already have and run filmerit (link in my signature) and make sure there are no errors in the filters that are installed, can give no end of grief if left. Make sure the audio renderer is set at default directsound device. HTH [/QUOTE]
