No audio from optical s-pdif (1 Viewer)

[rhmclay]

I am not sure why all the info I put in for my system isn't pulling in, like I thought it was supposed to, so I will re-add in this paragraph.

I ripped all my blu-rays, using Clown_BD or MakeMKV, into mkv's. When I play them back in MP1.1 Beta, I can only get audio when I listen to it from my TV, through the HDMI coming from my HTPC into the back of the TV. I also have my optical digital out s-pdif to my receiver, but no matter which audio option I choose, when watching the movie, I do not get anything through the s-pdif/receiver. I have AC3Filter set in MP. I am stumped.

Here is some of the system specs I have: AMD AtholonII X4 2.8GHz, MB: Gigabyte GA-MA785GMT-UD2H, RAM: 4GB DDR3-1333, GPU: ATI Sapphire Radeon hd 4670 DDR3 1GB, HDD: WD 640GB, Antec Fusion Remote Case, MP 1.1 Beta, StreamedMP skin, Onboard Realtek ALC889A Audio with 1 Optical S/PDIF port.

I have ffdshow installed on the system, along with AC3Filter. Haali Media Splitter, MPC Video Decoder.

Thanks

Any suggestions?

Please give more info (ie codecs selected) and logs.

'd think that using MPA and selecting SPDIF n config should do it...

rhmclay I will assume that you are using the latest Realtek audio driver - I think that they are up to revision 2.41, by the way you should have them installed.

Go to the system tray and then right click on the orange speaker icon to select Audio Devices. From there you will see a list (under playback) of which outputs you are using. I am guessing from what you have written that it will be ticked against the ATI HDMI output. If you wish to carry the optical signal via your SPDIF then tick the bottom, IIRC, option for Realtek Digital Output and set that as the default.

Whilst that option is highlighted you must then select its properties (from the then highlighted button) and ensure that you disable all enhancements and tick DTS and DD under the supported sound formats, proving your amplifier can support both of these.
