DTS output within Media Center?

[squiffy]

I've got Dolby Digital working in Media Center - AC-3 filter, set to SPDIF, M-Audio set to digital. AV amp pickups up the signal.

Within Power DVD 6 if I select DTS the AV amp does lock onto the signal. But playing the DVD in Media Center and it's just PCM.

So how do I get the built in Media Player to output DTS? Do I need a DTS codec (like AC-3 filter?

cheers

um I'm using a M-Audio Revoultion 5.1, not Nvidia soundcard, Nvidia is the graphics card not the soundcard (which is disabled and not being used, no digital output)

I've updated to latest AC-3 Filter, checked DTS, DD and Mpeg II under
System. Works in Power DVD but not Media Center (Media Player?)

Yay ! sorted it, went into MC Cyblerlink Audio settings and now works. I was sure set that earlier

Quick google search

For example, I wanted to test the sound with “Master and Commander” which has an incredible DTS sound mix. I could play the DTS sound mix using WinDVD outside of the Media Center window but could not get the same playback inside of Media Center. I would have to upgrade my soundcard for it to work with Media Center which is incredibly silly, I’ll watch it in WinDVD and…

yeah thanks I know require a DVD decoder, Power DVD 6 is installed and now everything is ok. locks onto DTS and is reported as 5.1 DTS.

edit I now need to get .MPG support in the Video section, got a MPG file and it doesn't add it to the thumbnail/playback. Works in Media Player though.
