[QUOTE="joecrow, post: 1210326, member: 128337"] I have been following this thread closely, basically because I was not entirely happy with my audio setup. I'm not sure if this helps you but what I was/am looking for is:- 1) If content is Surround then play 5.1. 2) If video/TV is stereo play as multichannel stereo (sound on all speakers). 3) For music stereo (Music/TuneIn internet radio) play stereo (front L&R speakers only). After a lot of trial and error I got it to work using the following settings. Please note I am using MPAR for everything except TV (Default Direct Sound). I have Windows set to 5.1 Surround I have set LAV to bitstream DTS,Dolby/AC3 and mixing is not enabled. In MP config/Music I have set player as WASPI exclusive. On my AVR in Cinema mode I have selected MCH Stereo (which I think becomes the default), AAC TV, non-suround videos and content from Online Videos play in this mode. When I switch to content with surround audio (e.g. zap to TV channel with AC3) the AVR automatically switches to DDS and or DTS for BD media. When Music or internet radio is played (TunIn plugin) the AVR atomatically switches to stereo (L&R speakers only. QED:) The different volumes was the only problem and as reported in the previous post, I was able to resolve that with the Dynamic Volume option. I do have the AV sync option set in MPAR but have not noted a problem with it except the odd occaision with Online Videos, which I think is down to internet speeds/interupts rather than drift.With the AV Sync option disabled in LAV and as mentioned earlier, no MPAR for TV (as recommended) I therefore have no AV sync for TV but have never seen a problem.
