[QUOTE="Lotsofjazz, post: 229258, member: 64243"] If you want to use AC3Filter as postprocess, you must have the AC3 filter installed. Download it from the AC3 website (Use google to find it), and then also select it in Mediaportal as the audiodecoder to be used. Once the ac3filter is installed, configure it such that it uses the S/PDIF, and select AC3, DTS and Mpeg Passthrough(if your soundcard supports this) Deselect the Dscaler filter and make sure it wont be used by lowering the merit to DO NOT USE. If not, sometimes it loads anyway, and if AC3 and Dscaler are used both, a movie with DTS audio will stutter. Note that a merit change becomes active after a computer restart. After I Installed the AC3 filter and set it up as above, all AC3, DTS and Mpeg audio streams directly into my Marantz receiver where it will use the Marantz D/A converters to generate sound to my speakers, which of course are much better then those on the soundcard. I hope this helps! I use Radlight to change codec Merits I Use Graphedit to check which codecs are used in mediaportal (or per movie file) Lots [/QUOTE]
