Windows 7 S/PDIF digital audio output
#1
Something strange happened after installing XBMC in Windows 7 32bit.
All content is outputing only stereo ... I'll describe an example:

Ex: mkv with DTS5.1
XBMC configured or audio decoding
- A/V receiver only receives two channels (F/R) as if signal is stereo

XBMC Configured for paththrough
- A/V receiver detects DTS signal
- A/V receiver says it's receiving all 5 channels
- sound is comming only from front speakers

System details:
- Only windows and XBMC are installed (no other meaninfull drivers or codecs)
- The system is connected to A/V receiver through S/PDIF.
- Windows sound check, pings all speakers

note: in any case, it does sound as no frequencies (or sound data) is missing, so i suspect it's down mixing the channels.

Any hints on what to configure to get the multichannel working?

thanks

go into System>System>Audio and change audio device from default to WASAPI see if that works

That was already the case. The WASAPI option with S/PDIF on the label.
So it should be something else.
