Hi all !

I have installed VLC 2.1.0 (64 bits) and I can't get Dolby Digital or DTS sound from my amplifier. My PC, running under Windows 7 64 SP1, is wired to my Denon amplifier using an optical cable. I tried different configurations in VLC but none worked as expected :

- Directsound (DirectX)
- Audio Wave out

In both cases, I have checked "Enable SPDIF output if possible" and set the audio output on my Realtek digital output. But my amplifier panel desperately stayed on "Dolby PL II" (Stereo).

It is important to notice that I don't have any problem using XBMC : both Dolby Digital and DTS work fine on the same PC.

More over, I can get Dolby Digital and DTS using VLC on my Macbook Pro.

Is anyone experiencing the same problem ? Is there a way to solve it ?

hi,
macsoke, how did you get vlc 2.1.0 work with dts audio files ... it is not working on my imac using vlc 2.1.0 with dts 5.1 audio files ... it did not work with version vlc 2.0.8...

i hope vlc could work on sacd-iso audio file as well ... i tried vlc 2.1.0 and it is not working on sacd-iso audio file...

can i request vlc to work with dts 5.1 & 6.1 audio files and sacd-iso audio files?...

thanks,

Fixed in 2.1.2

For SACD iso, probably not.
