Playing an audio file with Dolby sound works fine in Windows, playing through MediaPortal 2 I can only get stereo sound.

    You can switch audio streams from OSD or player config dialog (info key), if a video contains multiple audio streams.
    Then there is a setting (settings - players - video player) to prefer multichannel streams.
    Finally the LAV audio decoder must be configured to pass through AC3 streams. This is done in the LAV codec settings (can be accessed from Windows start menu)

I can only assume that these were never part of the install package itself, but rather downloaded during the install, and that link no longer exists. Shame that the installer doesn't indicate this. Last time when I installed the...

    I don't know about MP2 but as you said you tried MP1 too, how is the MP music config ? MP(1) will only use LAV if you select "Internal DirectShow player" as music output, but then you lose gapless playback. If you you don't have multichannel music you can choose WASAPI as the output and set the number of speakers to stereo. I have...

    you are right.. I spotted why it's not working. For what ever reason, the 3x recently added / watched for TV series, etc was killing it.. I've removed it for now and it's started working again. I'll have to dig a little deeper as to why it's happened all of a sudden.
