Try 2 .2.6 umbrella version

I'm experiencing a similar issue with an E-AC3 audio source. The file is always played with stereo sound, even though I am connected to the AV receiver through HDMI. Surround sound works just fine with AC3 or DTS audio sources using VLC or WIndows Media Player, or E-AC3 audio sources using WIndows ...

No
U just need to provide logs so devs understand wtf is going on. Check earlier posts for how to

On the logs you sent, I see the data sent to 5 channels. Wierd I have an internal sound card of the g1sniper gigabyte motherboard and speakers connected to the back of the motherboard through mini jacks In any case i have both versions in my system but 2 2 6 handles stuff for now until this is reso...

None of those 2 files are E-AC3, but they are AC3 and DTS. Both are decoded to 5.1.

Do you have a 5.1 setup?

Yes i do
As i mentioned in my answer umbrella 2 2 6 sounds 5.1 while vetinari 3 0 3 sounds stereo
In some files. Some work fine

here is an other example 3.0.3 stereo 2.2.6 5.1 https://www82.zippyshare.com/v/LQUlh35f/file.html main debug: Creating an input for preparsing 'House MD S02E08 1080p Blu-ray Remux AVC DTS 5.1 - DTHD (1)-001-1-2018-07-09-11?53-20--.mkv' main debug: processing request item: House MD S02E08 1080p Blu-r...

The 2 files i linked have problem

and trust me its quite hard to find out since i dont run 3.0.3 anymore much

but even if do test every single movie i play i actually have to find some part with surround sound and verify there isnt such

5.1

3.0.3 has the issue with some files
most movies work 5.1 fine aac dts truehd etc

so uhhh 10 years later i have seen like 3000 more movies and would be nice to have a 43083490583904 hours play time ...!

couple of months ago ver3 was released and i was quite happy to upgrade to it then one day i was watching twister (1996) with dts sound and it was stereo some later day accidentally i discover that it was 5.1 and i pretty much lost most of it that made me go back to 2.2.6 umbrella since then i go ba...

yes there is check advanced settings the problem is solved however every time u play a new video lets say in a playlist window will close and then open in the primary screen again so u have to change it to window move it to the 2nd screen and make it full screen again wich is kinda annoying when u a...

indeed thats the only solution i managed to find completely out of the blue today while i was trying to watch videos in vlc when i bought my new 40'' led tv couple hours ago if i check the embedded video setting vlc will send the signal to my primary monitor 1280x1024 even if the video is 1080p AND ...

bump would really pay alot to see how many million hours of playtime i have with that thing everything from cellphone videos up to 1080p HD videos are going through this prog news, videos, funny stuff, movies, trailers, speedruns, music, everything is going through this program would really really l...

nvm was looking at earlier versions feature added in latest

no i dont mean they dont work i mean that vlc has a certain font for ALL subs in all mkvs some mkv contain subs formatted in very nice fonts with specific colors etc that directvobsub can show but vlc cant and show with the default size and color for example most dark knight blue ray rips have a def...

possible to include custom fonts of subs if there are in the .mkv container?

i am tired of all those idiots saying about the superiority of directvobsub over vlc

as the title says i would like spesific setting for each sound channel so i can raise lets say surrounds or left channel more than the rest just like Ac3filter does

or is this already implemented?

hard to reproduce i think both window and full screen not sure tho

notice that only the sub list is transparent not the rest video , options etc
