Hi everyone!

I want to know how to disable the audio codec VLC, and let the HT to decode. Because the display always appears LPCM, and I want the correct codecs (DD, DTS, etc.) are displayed.

Sorry for my poor English

Depending on your OS, you need to enable S/PDIF passthrough in VLC audio preferences and/or in the OS sound settings.

First of all, thank you very much for responding !
I forgot to mention the following:

- S.O: Windows 8.1
- Audio for HDMI 1.4a (Laptop-->HT)

Already configured the OS with HT as speakers, i just need to know what should I check in VLC

Can someone help me? I dont know what option disable (in VLC) to let the HT encode the audio codecs. The HT display show "LPCM" allways, but when i use WMP 12 the display show the correct codecs (DTS MA, etc)...because WMP12 dont encode anything... all the work do the HT device (HDMI).

P.D: Again, sorry for my por english. I hope you understand me!

As hinted, you need to enable S/PDIF passthrough in the VLC audio preferences.

Remi, thanks again for your time, but unfortunately did not solve the problem. (now the HT display showme DTS and DD, but not DTS HD and DD HD for example)
¿Do I need to enable/disable something else? (remember it is for the HDMI port)

Kisses!

VLC does not support DTS HD pass-through as of yet. Patch welcome.
