[QUOTE="dman_lfc, post: 192613, member: 10331"] MediaPortal does not control the graph building explicitly. It adds in the predefine filters (depending on file extension) and then renders the graph from there. All applicable filters (including predefined) are then connected to allow playback of the file. In your case the ffdshow and directsound filters are added to the graph. Becuase ffdshow can create a natural connection with the directsound renderer, it uses it. I'm not a fan of AC3Filter so you'd have to see what options you can set for it to automatically enter into the graph when MediaPortal renders a file. For your own testing you can do this in GraphEdit. 1. Open GraphEdit 2. Add the filters you choose in MediaPortal for the file type. i.e. Video Mixing Renderer 9, DirectSound, <Audio Codec>, <Video Codec> 3. The go File, Render Media File 4. Choose a file you wish to push audio out to DD See if AC3Filter gets added to the graph without you manually adding it. DMAN [/QUOTE]
