[QUOTE="ekhaskel, post: 664862, member: 107492"] Hi I have to connect my HTPC computer to external receiver via optical SPDIF. It works with mediaportal, but I receive stereo only, instead 5.1 DTS/AC3. I was able to got normal 5.1 DTS/AC3 sound using VLC player, when choose "A52 over SPDIF" option in Audio->Audio Device. I got high quality multichannel sound. How may I do the same thing with internal player? I tried to use "Use AC3 filter" option without any affect, sound still stereo. I downloaded and installed AC3 filter from [url=http://ac3filter.net/]AC3Filter[/url] site and was able to got multichannel sound, but delayed and distorted. More from this - when I uninstalled AC3 filter ver 1.63b, the issue with distorted sound still exist and only after full mediaportal reinstallation I got the normal sound, but in stereo again... I tested it with onboard Realtec ALC655 sound card and with external Creative USB X-Fi surround card. I can't install any different sound card because my HTPC is small factor Everex gPC computer, that not allow additional cards installation. Any ideas? Thanks [/QUOTE]
