    Hi,

    I recently bought a new AV-receiver and therefore have changed everything to HDMI.
    In PowerDVD, I have set the speaker environment to "HDMI" and the output mode to "PCM" (see attached picture).

    The problem is that in MP Config --> Direct Show Filter Control --> PowerDVD 7 Decoder Settings --> Speaker environment can only be set to "SPDIF" or "7 speaker" (see attached picture).

    If I set "PowerDVD audio decoder" as audio codec in MP configuration and "prefer AC3" in the TV client, I do not have audio for dolby digital TV channels. :mad:

    If I am using the MPA codec, that also only supports SPDIF as audio option, it works okay...

    So my question is, can the HDMI option be added to the PowerDVD audio configuration section in MP config?
    :D

    Logs can be provided if necessary...

    Sorry to bump this thread but I am surprised that nobody else has confirmed this.

    Is this a bug or a feature request.
    Please feel free to move this thread.

    I would say, simply use the MPA codec for audio in MP if it works OK.
    The PDVD Audio codec doesn't anyway work very well in MP, also if you don't use HDMI for audio.

    I am responding to this old thread only because I have the same problem. This however was not the case initially. I was able to play audio over the HDMI, and now through various changes (skins, Imon, etc.) it seems to be unavailable. I think the problem really started when I began experimenting with the analog outputs on my PC to try and eliminate an audio delay issue with PVDVD. I've solved this issue with a software update ( rev. 7.3 build 4407), but now I can't seem to revert back to HDMI with Mediaportal. The option is no longer available. I may reinstall Mediaportal.
