[QUOTE="Snoopy87, post: 1209049, member: 128461"] Thanks for your replay, but that is not an option for me, because Dolby TrueHD, DTS HD and DTS HD Master Audio can't be sent over optical output. I think it is correct to setup 5.1 in Windows Speaker Config. The issue seems to be how MediaPortal and/or plugins like RadioTime handles Stereo sound. If it would be sent as PCM 2.0 everything would be ok. While sending bitstreams (DD, DTS, etc.) the Window Speaker Config will be of course ignored, so why not ignoring the Speaker Config while sending PCM 2.0 ? I think it is wrong to send PCM 2.0 as PCM 5.1 signal, because the receiver can't handle the stereo signal anymore. Maybe it is still possible to set up this - in my opinion default use case for any HTPC user - with existing configuration settings in MediaPortal, LAV Audio Decoder, etc.? (RadioTime doesn't use LAV Audio Decoder) What I want is, that the Windows Speaker Setup should not matter, because Windows does not have to know my Speaker Setup. It's up to the AV-Receiver to know that. All audio should be sent to the AVR as it is: DD as DD, DTS as DTS, 2.0 as 2.0, 5.1 as 5.1, 7.1 as 7.1 etc. Maybe there are tools which change the Windows Speaker Setup automatically on demand?
