[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1175318, member: 82144"] Okay, your LAV audio settings seem to be a bit... strange. ;) For bit-streaming you have ticked DD and DTS. Normally when bit-streaming is activated, the audio stream would be sent directly to the TV or AVR without any change (eg. mixing, equalisation etc.) on the PC. Therefore I [I]think[/I] (not 100% sure) mixing would have no effect for TV channels with those audio formats. Either way, since you have 5.1 speakers, I would recommend to disable mixing (unless you are dealing with lots of 7.1 channel sources, in which case you could enable mixing for 7.1 => 5.1 conversion only). You have also ticked "use legacy 5.1 channel layout". Was that intentional? If not, I recommend to try unticking that setting. Along with your original mixing configuration, I think that setting could be a reason for your problem. Finally, I see you have enabled Dolby Pro Logic II matrix encoding on the mixing tab. My understanding is that DPL is for encoding surround sound audio into stereo outputs in such a way that the receiver/decoder can recover the surround sound. Since you have a 5.1 system I think that should be unnecessary. Therefore I recommend to set "matrix encoding" to "none". [/QUOTE]
