Hello,
I recently build a new HTPC with a i3 3235 on an ASRock H77 Pro4-m motherboard. I am connecting it via HDMI to my Pioneer VSX-52 AVR which then outputs to my TV. The problem I am having is that whenever I select the option that my AVC is dolby digital capable, I get no audio. All of the other options are enabled. I'm running 12 btw. I know my AVR supports Dolby Digital, along with most other formats. Is there something I'm not doing right?
Thanks

Checked your log: there's no errors nor unexpected entries. Basically it all looks good from here. Can you play any Dolby? Other formats?

Can't reproduce here - all AC3 plays fine. Is there a firmware update for your receiver or perhaps a setting wrong in it? I would think that the forums would be flooded pretty quick if AC3 (Dolby) were messed up and I can't see anything wrong in your log...

I just fixed it! On the receiver there is a "fixed PCM" option that was enabled. Turning it off fixed it. I guess it was trying to force everything through PCM or something like that.
Anyways, thanks for all the help.

I'm running 64bit Windows 8.1 with the latest Intel HD 4400 graphics drivers and an Onkyo SR-705 and having the same issue (the intel drivers have been kind of a nightmare with the latest version of Windows). I don't see a Fix PCM option on the receiver. The only thing I could find was something about listening mode presents. There was also something in the advanced settings that says it could change a setting to DTS from PCM, but it didn't seem to work for me. These files play fine when played on a separate Windows 7 computer with computer speakers. Any ideas?

My settings are looking like that (except the Play GUI sounds and it set to 5.1 instead of 3.1). My issue isn't that the audio isn't working, it's that the sound+video aren't being processed when they should (and are on other machines).
