no sound on avi files with mp3

I have the same issue...

For me, I have to individually change the audio output from digital to analog when playing some avi files to get sound. You can do this by clicking the speaker icon (depending on your skin) when the video is playing.

The receiver then receives a PCM audio signal over the optical connection.

I also have the problem with no audio from avi movies with mp3 sound.

My HTPC is set up as follows:
Asus P7H55D-EVO with an Intel Core I3 CPU.
I am using onboard sound and graphics.
I have connected the computer with a HDMI cable to my TV, and I have used an optical cable to my amplifier that supports AC3 and DTS.
Windows 7 Ultimate
XBMC 9.11 ShowMix with skin 2.5

I have tried to change from digital to analog sound. I have turned off the AC3 and DTS Settings/System /Audio Output

But I do not get any sound.
Regular MP3 files and other movie files with AC3 or DTS works great.

Have tried the movies that's not working at my laptop. And they both work fine with VLC and XBMC.

Anybody have any suggestions for how I can get it to work between HTPC'en and my amplifier with an optical cable?

I see that it has been mentioned that it helps to turn off 'mp3 capable receiver', but I do not have this option. At least, I don't find it.

These options may only be available on later dev/svn builds and not the one you have.

Strange, but good to hear that it now works for you.
I have replaced my old surround receiver, and are running both picture and sound through HDMI.
And this works great
