[QUOTE="kaigame, post: 651954, member: 14894"] The best way to check to 'see' if the sound is coming through correctly is to examine pretty much two things: 1) Your receiver/amplifier - It should switch and probably 'click' when a movie with a dolby digital/dts sound track is played, it will then display the appropriate format. 2) FFDshow audio decoder - you would have to set MP to windowed mode and not to stay on top to do this properly, check the ffdshow tray icon when playing a movie(double click it), as you are only using ffdshow, it's all you should be concerned with, it should have in the info page(near the top) what audio is coming in, and how it's going back out again, i'd take a screenie, but my MP is in the living room, and people are watching TV :) in the output tab for ffdshow, make sure that the bitsream audio formats(passthrough) that your amp can decode(through SPDIF it will be DTS and Dolby Digital) are ticked, everything else should be at default, i think. As you are connected via SPDIF and sound is working, i have to assume that the correct audio device is being used, SAF would have prompted you to make your SPDIF output default(the choice is manual, the window pops up automatically). ffdshow can mix stereo to 5.1, works quite well, there is an option on the output tab to only encode 5.1 streams, untick it, see if it works out, i don't seem to be able to use it at the moment, but as my setup is working after a rebuild(failed hdd), i'm not fiddling with it :). You don't really want your card to do any audio processing, let ffdshow handle the output options. That should make sense. [/QUOTE]
