I have tons of DTS audio files that were encoded to lossless WMA.  These play fine on my system in any direct show based player and in graphedit...

Code: [Select]

Music.wma ---> WMAudio Decoder DMO ---> AC3Filter ---> Default DirectSound Device
Is there a way to enable this or maybe add .WMA to the list of filetypes in the DirectShow Filters dialog?

Note:  I am NOT using an AVR with spdif, I'm using analog direct to power amps.

Here is some advice I received from Yaobing on adding new file extensions a while ago but I'm not sure how you are going to go with WMA files as the extension is already in use for the existing Audio playback - have a go and Yaobing may also have some advice.  Also if you post a link to an example file others will give it a go and may provide some advice.
Thanks

Can you please try adding the extension to FileAssociations.xml file and let us know how it works? You need to add it in two places:

Code: [Select]

<DescriptionTypes>
<Audio>...</Audio>
<Image>...</Image>
<Video>MPEG Video (mp2,mpeg,mpg,m1v,mpv,mpe,m2v,tp,m2t);...</Video>
               ...
</DescriptionTypes>
and

Code: [Select]

<DXTypes>...;mpeg;mpg;m1v;m2v;mp2;tp;m2t;...</DXTypes>

All DirectShow configuration is under Playback/Video/Directshow.  Even audio (for now).

It works !!! 

I had to simply add .wma to DSTypes (NOT DXTypes) and select the filters as shown in graphedit (Windows Media Asf Reader, WMAudio Decoder DMO, AC3Filter, and Default DirectSound Device).

Thanks a bunch!! 

PS... only caveat is that the little "spectrum analyzer" is missing, oh well...
