[QUOTE="SherlockS, post: 1074287, member: 96408"] Hi guys, Happy MP user for several years now, was on 1.6 when all of a sudden (overnight??) sound stops working. It concerns Music files, Series (Mp4, MKV, etc..) Movies, but also the sounds in MP menu. Before, all worked fine. So I thought, well alright, I'll give 1.7 a go then, maybe it'll solve it. It didn't. So back to 1.6, but then my video files didn;t even play. So fresh install of 1.7, but still this issue with sound. Oh yes, htpc is connected to screen by VGA cable, and to receiver (about 13 yrs old now) by S/PDIF. All codecs have been set to LAV filter, so both video and audio. Windows 7, x64. I've discovered a few things: sound on all files works well with Windows Media Player or VLC player. So master volume is ok. It also works perfectly via remote desktop. First I had selected default direct sound device; afterwards I've also tried Digital Audio S/PDIF... and Direct Sound Digital Audio..., without any luck so far. One other thing: AC3 files seem to be working ok, AAC files aren't. I'm getting more and more frustrated at the moment, is there anyone who can help me so I can return to being the lighthearted person I used to be ;) [/QUOTE]
