Hi,

when there is a TV Show with surround, the MS DTV audio codec does not output it in ac3, only stereo.
I read here that there is no ac3 with MS DTV codec outside MC but I have ac3 in Video section with MS DTV audio codec.

Is it Dolby Digital or Dolby Digital +, then M$ codec will not work due to licensing retrictions, you need either ffdshow or AC3 filter for audio.

...still wondering why this works flawless in the video section

Check the exact audio format in the stream. MS decoedr is most likely rejecting some stream types - depending on their lisence with Dolby.

Also is it the same .ts file that work in video section? If yes then it cannot be the lisence issue.

According to the logs that were provided, the stream is MPEG 1:

17-07-2011 23:05:23.424 [85c]New channel found (PAT/PMT/SDT changed)
17-07-2011 23:05:23.424 [85c] pcr pid: 30

17-07-2011 23:05:23.424 [85c] audio pid: 40 language: deu type: MPEG1 - audio

Am I missing something here?

Sorry,
my fault. It seems that only Dolby Digital doesn't work with other apps, so this might be the reason that some ac3 audios are passed untouched.

The Microsoft implementation of the Dolby Digital technology is restricted under terms of the Dolby Digital licensing program to use by Microsoft applications.
