Bruceleeon 0 Report post Posted January 3, 2011 It seems there is a problem with Windows 7! If you have multi channel audio setup through the control panel to anything other than 2 channel and use Windows Media Center... it will crash. This appears to be a known bug and yet we have seen no hints of a patch. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flavoie 0 Report post Posted October 16, 2013 Last I checked in Windows 8, when I couldn't get proper Dolby Digital sound from my AV receiver, I had to resetup in the Control Panel and it went fine. From what i recall (i used optical and now I use coax digital) it was the same setting, and it sounded like transparent. I don't try to let Windows figure out multi-channel audio, I instead select something that sound more like "transparent" or "passthrough" digital audio. My AV receiver is way better at doing that decoding anyways. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
