Hello Everyone, my name's Pablo, and I have been using MC 14 for the last month. I´m very pleased with it, amazed by its settings and funtionality.
I had some issues trying to play the above mentioned files, and upon searching I found some members having the same issues.
Altough playing DTS and WAV file was easily solved, wavpack was a bit hard.
After installing and uninstalling the codecs several times I was able to do it. I couldn't even play wavpack with the provided MC wv plugin from sourceforge.

PS: Although this problem might have been solved already, I thought it would be helpful to have a graphic view to the settings, and mention a few things were left behind in the other posts.

So what did I do?

I uninstalled ffdshow and other codec pack i had installed (leaving only ac3 file and ac3 filter)
I run ccleaner twice and rebooted my laptop.
Then I proceded to install ffdshow tryouts (an updated version of ffdshow) and twicked the settings following some instructions here.

Now I have everything up and running.

So here are the settings:

For FFDSHOW TRYOUTS (I guess they could work with ffdshow)
under codecs DTS make sure you select libdts
Wavpack select libavcodec
ac3is set to liba52
Uncompressed set to all supported
*I had enabled WMA 7 8 and 9, but I just checked and doesn't make any difference.

NOW in MC go to tools, options and file type.

For DTS

Reproduction method: J river sound engine (with ffdshow filter)
filter source: AC3 File
Other filters: ffdshow audio decoder; AC3 Filter

For Wavpack

Reproduction method: J river sound engine (with ffdshow filter)
filter source: AC3 File
Other filters: ffdshow audio decoder; wavpack audio decoder


For Wav

Reproduction method: J river sound engine (with ffdshow filter)
filter source: AC3 File
Other filters: ffdshow audio decoder; J river bitrate monitor filter.

Here are some pictures of the settings, and MC playing the Files.

Your instructions are fine for DTS, but are you speaking about DTS encoded audio that is stored in Wave or Wavpack files? If you are speaking about standard PCM audio you don't need to install anything. MC has built-in support for Wave and Wavpack files that contain standard PCM audio.

Hi, sorry for the delay. About DTS, I have some raw DTS Albums (the doors) if you see on the image playing DTS file, the filetype is DTS.
I have some files in wavpack, and those were also giving me some problems. But I fixed that now.

At the moment I'm trying to play mp4 files. I have downloaded Haali media spliter, and I'm checking the settings.

Thanks for your reply.
