[QUOTE="Nescio, post: 774283, member: 114832"] When playing a video I only get sound from my front speakers but no sound from center or rear speakers. My HTPC is connected through HDMI to my TV and to my AV Receiver through an optical cable. (Operating system is Windows XP Professional, SP3, 32 bits) I know for sure that the AV-Receiver is set up correctly and cabling is done right as well because when I play a movie with PowerDVD I get 5.1 sound. (Use S/PDIF selected in PowerDVD) I do not for sure if my receiver supports AC3 as I cannot find it in the manual, see below link. But as with PowerDVD everything goes fine this shouldn’t be the problem I think. [url]http://www.marantz.eu/attachments/pr..._manual_en.pdf[/url] I know my soundcard (Creative Labs X-Fi Xtreme Audio PCI-E 7.1 PCI-E) I not capable to decode so for this reason you get PowerDVD supplied with it so could it be a codec issue or haven’t I configure Mediaportal correct for my setup? I hope somebody can help me as I’m really desperate as I’m already trying for 4 days now :( [/QUOTE]
