Video has improved, but audio is driving me crazy! I have downloaded latest ffdshow and AC3filter Installed PowerDVD7.3 (Ultra deluxe version, including the latest H264 patch) graphedit to see how the codecs are used radlight to change the merits of the codecs. I have several MP4/MKV files that I am sure have AC3 audio(5.1) Set AC3 filter to passthrough AC3 and DTS to the SPDIF optical output Set AC3filter as the audio codec in Mediaportal Set Onboard realtek audio card to send AC3 and DTS through SPDIF (done via Windows device manager, test shows it works) AC3 filter merit changed to preferred+256 (very high) PowrerDVD codecs lowered to Normal setting (6000) Example: When rendering MP4 file in Graphedit, i see Cyberlink audio decoder PVD7 input is connected to the file and output to the AC3filter and then the preferred audio renderer.. So that is OK. When I open the properties for the Cyberlink audiodecoder, I have to set it to 6 channels to get dolby digital. Play the file with the internal graphedit player generates a rich and perfect AC3 sound! So that is all OK, you should think, but when opening the same movie in Mediaportal, I get stereo Checked the directshow filters in Mediaportal, PowerDVDV directshow codecs: Mpeg Hardware decoding ON, H264 hardware decoding ON, Audio decoder SPDIF,. VMR9 options all checked ON (3), EVR checked ON Under Movies Player: Audio decoder: AC3 filter No postprocessing for audio AC3 filter is set to pass through AC3 and DTS, if input is PCM, AC3 renderer is used, in above example the input in AC3filter is PCM 3/2 5.1, output to SPDIF AC3 5.1 No matter what I try, all I get is stereo with the above MP4 file when played internally in Mediaportal. It is not the only file I have it with, all othe MP4 files show the same issue and also with WMV (VC1) files I experience this problem. Strange enough files with DTS sound it works OK. I also set in PowerDVD audio configuration to send sound to SPDIF. This really is driving me crazy!, I got it right in XP, but because I never was able to save the settings (windows collapsed on me unexpectedly) . Anybody here who got an idea? Do I miss something in mediaportal? It is Mediaportal that decides to use stereo, because Graphedit does play AC3 5.1. Your help is appreciated Lots [/QUOTE]
