[QUOTE="Vasilich, post: 1182907, member: 97516"] PCM can transport only stereo. So what did you expect? if LAV should decode it, then there are 2 ways to transport more than 2 channels to receiver: [LIST] [*]5.1 analog output from PC (yes, 3 pairs if stereo cables, probably quality loss as receiver can have better DACs that sound card in PC) [*]encode it again in DD or DTS to be able to transport it via HDMI or SPDIF. This can be done either with some sound cards having "DD Live" feature, or smth similar for realtime encoding in DTS, or with some filters like AC3Filter, Or MPAR (activating AC3 encoding there) [/LIST] P.S. Just checked that file with this AC3 stereo sound - my old Yamaha receiver is able to decode it properly when bitstreaming from HTPC. Have you expected it to have 5.1? Mediainfo clearly says Format : AC-3 Channel(s) : 2 channels Channel positions : Front: L R [/QUOTE]
