I cannot for the life of me get the MP internal player to play AC3 files. AAC files decode properly - but I get nothing from AC3.

It is a clean install of Windows Vista Ultimate. MediaPortal, FFDShow, and CoreAVC are the only things installed so far. I tried following Goose's Codec Guide, but no luck.

I've attached info of an MP4 with an AC3 that doesn't work, and an MP4 with AAC that does work.

Video file 1: Bolt.avi
Audio: AC-3

Video file 2: Battlestar Galactica - S02E01 - Scattered.mp4

In your ffdshow audio configuration screenshot, UNCHECK AC3 and DTS pass-through.

Nothing.

In ffdshow audio decoder configuration, select 'Codecs' from the left column. Then on the right pane, make sure under 'Formats' that AC3 and DTS decoder setting are NOT set to 'disabled'. Select 'libavcodec'.

Same exact thing - shows up the same in GraphEdit as well.

Do you have set anything in post processing in MP? Or is it empty?

Why use ffdshow for audio? Try AC3Filter instead.
