I did find an issue with 2 channel ac3 files. multi-channel files would work OK.
this is corrected in version 341, released earlier today.

Just tried 341 but I still have the same issues. I'm downloading the sample video you provided and I'll let you know what happens.

FYI... I checked the specific MKV I'm having an issue with and VLC is reporting that the audio codec is "A52 Audio (aka AC3) (a52)." It also reports that the channels are stereo.

On the video side (not sure if it matters), but the codec is H264 MPEG-4 (part10) (avc1).

please test THIS SAMPLE

That sample video played correctly. I heard the audio and my receiver showed Dolby Digital.

The difference in audio between my MKV and the sample you provided, is that yours has "3F2R/LFE" for the channels, and mine is "Stereo."

Any ideas on where to go from here?
