[QUOTE="chesh, post: 421627, member: 88249"] I'm using the Arcsoft Audio Decoder HD as the sound was much more normalized over SPDIF even though it's only coming through as 2 channel stereo and then upgraded to a Logic 7 by my surround sound. I just hate having 5.1 turned on and continuously having to adjust the volume when I switch channels. Maybe I'll play with the audio codecs another day, but for now that one works the best for me. ixian: I have the iMon too as it came with my Thermaltake case. Do you use a Harmony with your setup? I always seem to have issues with it sending double commands that freak out MP sometimes. I know you can sit there with the Harmony software and send all the commands as RAW from one remote to the other, but what a hassle. I did this with all the buttons I was really having an issue with, but still have some that I should probably fix. sjeffrey: When I was testing the UIRT yesterday with the original Hauppauge MCE remote, the UIRT seemed really slow to respond. Have you experienced this? Blasting was 10000x better to my STB, but receiving button presses seemed laggy. Could have just been the remote, and I'm going to do some further testing with other remotes. What remote did you setup in the IRSS plugin MP side, or did you just leave the defaults and grab a handy dandy MCE remote and just go with it? I'm glad the PDVD8 codec is working so well for everyone. I knew I wasn't the only one having issues with the Arcsoft codecs after 1.0.1! Really, I just spent 3-4 hours doing trial and error on every h.264 codec mixed with audio codecs till I found the setup I'm currently using. For awhile there, I thought I was the only one having issues! ixian: Are you getting a true 5.1 output from the Arcsoft Audio HD codec or an converted 2ch Stereo to fake Dolby? As you can't change any of the settings in the Arcsoft Audio HD codec, I've never seen a place to force anything different. Given, I haven't really noticed if it switches between Logic 7 and Dolby 5.1 when I change to a channel with actual 5.1. Also, are you using RCA's or optical for your audio input to the HD-PVR?
