I have a HTPC.
I dual boot with windows7 and 13.10 ubuntu.
I can not get these DD 5.1 m2ts files to play sound in ubuntu from the Dolby Digital web site.
A few times the m2ts plays, a terrible screetchy nonsense played.
The sony receiver will display pcm 48 when playing the mp4 examples.
These all work good in windows7 with VLC.

I can get these avi files to play DD 5.1 sound
The sony DD receiver displays the DD 5.1 message

Can anyone tell me some info about this?
When viewing the audio codecs in VLC, they both say the same thing
