Hi I am new to MediaPortal. I have installed the latest version on a freshliy setup WinXP-SP2 machine over the weekend.

Unfortunately I am experiencing some strange behaviors of MP when selecting audio renderers for video and DVD playback. I have configured MP to use AC3-filter as audio renderer since not every audio renderer does support the SPDIF output of my Terratec soundcard.
AC3-filter is configured to use the SPDIF output and to show its icon in the system tray when running.

MP is correctly using AC3-filter when playing radio or music (AC3-filter icon is shown in the system tray.
However when playing movies or DVDs I get no sound and the AC3-filter icon does not show up in the system tray.

I have no audio problems when using BSplayer, PowerDVD or WMP11. AC3 and DTS is working perfectly.

Even stranger is the fact, that when I configure MP to use BSplayer to play movies I get no sound too! AC3-filter is not showing up in system tray.

When configuring a stereo setup sound is working, but AC3-filter is still not showing up in system tray. Therefore I suspect that MP is not using the configured audio renderer at all to play movies and DVD, but instead uses the MP built in renderer.
Is there any way to easily verify which a/v renderes MP is using at runtime?

What is wrong? Have I miss configured or forgotten something? I have searched this forum for a solution but so far without success.

Any help is appreciated!
Thank you very much!
