Hi all,
I'm fairly new to MediaPortal so am just getting my head around it. I used Win MediaCentre for years, not brilliant but it worked. Along came Windows 10 and forced me to move. Struggled with reliability of MP 1.12 and Windows 10. Restored back to Windows 8.1. Anyway, having got most things sorted I'm now debugging and trying to get the last few bits together. I'm onto surround sound.
MediaPortal for whatever reason insists on playing back all my audio as PCM when using the LAV filters. I've ticked the bistreaming selections for DD and DTS but with no joy. If I select the Microsoft codecs in MP left over from Media Centre, I get DD and bistreaming works fine. VLC bitreams fine too, so I know it's not a hardware issue..
My current setup is as follows.
Windows 8.1 Pro with MCE (MCE is disabled now)
Intel Core i5
16GB RAM
SSD/HDD/DVD drives etc etc.
VIA HD Audio connected via Optical SPDIF/TosLink to a Denon AVR-3805.
Please help me sort out the LAV filters to get them doing what they should and pass through the DD/DTS streams instead of decoding them for me. My logs are attached.
Thank you in advance.
If any other info is needed, just let me know.
