PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm using the optical SPDIF output on my USB external Soundblaster. This goes direct to an external DD DTS decoder. When I watch DVDs with WinDVD, I get the proper DD or DTS multichannel audio stream. When I try watching the same DVD using MC (ie, with the same WinDVD installation), I only get a stereo audio stream. When I look at the WinDVD config as shown by MC, there's no option for selecting digital (SPDIF) out but this is definately set properly when I look at the same setting in WinDVD.
Can anyone help me undertsand how I can get DD or DTS audio with MC alone?
I tested playing a DVD with MC using the WinDVD "XPack" decoder set. When I select DVD Properties from the menu and then click "Decoder Properties" in the Audio section of the dialog, I get an iviaudio ("InterVideo") properties dialog where the choices are "2 speaker mode" and "Enable s/pdif output". I can select the s/pdif output.
What do you see when you bring up the DVD audio properties dialog?
I purchased the XPack module for $15.00 but I would think the full WinDVD package would install the same filters (maybe not?).
Also, what list of filters do you see when you click the "DVD Filter Listing" button on the same DVD properties page? On my system, besides some other filters I see "Intervideo Audio Decoder" and "Intervideo Video Decoder".
