I can confirm that 2.1.4 works now with 5.1

Is that a beta?... because there is NO official 2.1.4 VLC to download that I can find

Well, it started working for me again in 2.1.2, so maybe it's different for different hardware. I did figure out how to get it working, finally, but it took changing the DirectX audio settings, which was never necessary before. But since the newest version supports x265-encoded files, I'm glad I fi...

This isn't working for me on 2.1.2 either. I can literally play the video in 2.1.2, and I don't get Dolby Digital output, and then roll back to 2.0.8 and play the same file, and it immediately works. I don't believe I should have to do any additional tweaking when on 2.0.8 it just works. Hopefully ...

It still doesn't work like it should. I get it working with some tweaking for most video. You have to tick "use spdif when available", choose the correct output module (which simply was win32 waveout), fiddled around some with directx and waveout, set it all to my audio interface having t...

Don't forget to tick the advanced>audio feature we talked about above if you want the digital sound to "pass-thru" to another decoding device.

Sorry, even if you select a supporting output, say, optical or HDMI, doesn't mean it will pass-thru digital... afraid the site admin is correct here... You have to tick the relevant setting in advanced audio.

As I thought.... You are aware that's under ADVANCED settings? It should be made a bit more obvious for newcomers imo... like it used to be (you could select S/PDIF under the audio menu). The cpu (which I don't have anymore as I was doing work on it for friends) was an old AMD single core... most pr...

Which "option" are you referring to mate? Please be specific when you tell people what they should not "need".

The crash reports were forwarded to VLC, don't worry about it.

I take that back. As far as I can tell it's still not fixed.... Unless it's only "Use SPDIF when available" that works. Admittedly the machine I'm having to try it on is quite old (as the better HTPC is not available atm) but the audio menu does not seem to be changed back. Furthermore, wh...

Thanks

Cheers m8. No worries. But you know there is a lot of fuss over audio drm and I'm wondering if this has any legal aspect to it. I don't put it past the MPAA or it's affiliates. And I'd like an answer as to whether that's the case. If it's a bug.... why are the system audio drivers showing up instead...

And yet no explanation is given... just tumbleweeds rolling by and a lone coyote howling.




Quick thought, is it happening on other other platforms?

Not working for me either. Gone back to 2.0.8 too. Anybody know what's going on? Has this been forced on VLC?
