Hi!
I have the Sonos Playbar and Play:1, which doesn't support DTS, and I would like XBMC to transcode DTS to AC3 5.1. This worked perfectly with Frodo 12.2, but with the new Gotham beta 1 released last week, I don't understand what settings I should choose to get the transcoding working. I've tried Fixed, Optimized, and Best Match and I only get stereo output from DTS tracks. I have enabled passthrough and only selected AC3 capable receiver. I doesn't matter if I choose WASAPI or DirectSound, same thing.
Am I doing something wrong or has this not been implemented yet in Gotham? If I play a movie with 5.1 AC3 audio, I get 5.1 audio to the Sonos system. My setup is XBMC running on Windows 8.1 64-bit, with an HDMI-cable connected to the TV. The TV passes the audio to the Playbar using an optical cable.
I did search the forums and read a lot about the new audio engine, but I still can't figure it out. I did see that there should be an option called "Enable Dolby Digital transcoding" in the audio settings menu according to this wiki page:

But I don't see that option. So, does anyone know how to get DTS 5.1 transcoded to AC3 5.1 in Gotham?
Thanks!
