WMP and AC3
Got a dilemma here, if i run a dvd in wmp (which i wouldnt anyway, would use powerdvd) i can get dolby digital encoded audio out through the spdif fine, but whenever i try to play an xvid video with ac3 audio, my receiver which would autodetect the signal would stay/change back to pl2.

Ive got ac3filter installed and its set to output through the spdif.

Any ideas?

Re: WMP and AC3
Are you running Xvid codecs with AC3 and do you have the latest ones? There's quite a lot about audio issues with DivX so this might be related, but Xvid was supposed to iron all of those out.

You mentioned when playing DVDs via WMP is OK, but what about Xvid encoded files? Also if you play a standard (i.e legal ) DVD via PowerDVD (making sure the settings in config are set to SPDIF & Dolby Digital output) does your amp pick up the fact that it is DD then?

EDIT: You might want to have a read of this...might be relevant
