Hi,
I've bought the Nvidia PureVideo Decoder for playing DVD. Playback of video works perfectly in MC13.0.143. On the other hand, there is no sound, using de audio decoder that comes with the package.
When I double click on the nvidia audio decoder in de "list of DVD filters" a properties window of the audio decoder pops up, with which I can do a sound test. The sound test works: I hear sound. When playing a DVD, no sound is heard.
I have also installed the AC3 filter 1.51a. When I select this as the audio decoder, the sound works.
Using DECCHECK.exe I've set the Nvidia decoder as the default decoder. Windows Media player plays both video and sound perfectly, using this decoder.
Now, I would like to understand why the Nvidia sound decoder doesn't work when playing a DVD in MC and AC3 does, while the Nvidia decoder in Windows Media Player doesn't have any problems. This has to have a logical explanation. Does anyone know this explanation?

I have also tried the Nvidia audio codec with the Xonar D2X soundcard from Asus. (speakers on front left/right analoge output). Same problem.
