5.1 DTS to Xbox 360 Extender

[chadsfake]

Is there any wat to send 5.1 DTS from MKV using Xbox 360 in media center extender mode.

I was hoping to bypass 5.1 DTS to Yamaha reciever but can't seam to get the right setting if this is even possible.

I have 64 bit windows 7 and 250 gig Xbox slim. Have added in Media Browser and would find this a nice replacement to my Popcorn hour if I can get the audio pass though figured out.

Thanks chadsfake

The xbox is incapable of decoding DTS.

But is it possible to pass through to my Yamaha receiver as 5.1 ?

if you play it on the PC.... no problem.

Once again, I'll state, the xbox cannot handle DTS audio.

Shark by making various changes I can get 5.1 through my receiver when using the codecs, however I will always get choppy and grainy looking video most of the time being so choppy it wont play. If I revert changes generally restoring defaults or using suggested, I get great video but just stereo audio. My Receiver changes from dolby digital to pcm why? Is there a way we can get this working.

ask Microsoft to support DTS decoding on the xbox.

Shark is that simple will good video and 5.1 just not exist on the xbox. I did have one movie however actually work that was Transformers 3. What would be different here?

obviously... the type of audio.

you should know, the xbox has its own decoders and does not use the system codecs
although the divx MF splitter (not decoder) does send the raw audio/video components to the xbox for further proccessing (playback).
