[QUOTE="millamber, post: 478921, member: 53070"] I am having a problem getting MediaPortal to output sound to 5.1 surround sound speakers when using the internal player for movies and TV shows. I am able to get the surround sound if I use Cyberlink PowerDVD. I am able to get surround sound when playing music through MediaPortal. But when I choose to play a movie I only get sound from the left and right speakers. I connect my Mediaportal box via HDMI to an amplifier and HDMI from the amplifier to the tv. I know this is not a problem with cables, windows, amplifier etc as I am able to get the surround sound from PowerDVD and music from within MediaPortal. I have tried using FFDSHOW, AC3, and Cyberlink Power DVD codecs, but nothing I change seems to make any difference. Any help would be much appreciated. MediaPortal Config.
