I'm having trouble getting TrueHD to play in WMC.

I have an MKV with H264 and TrueHD. I have Core AVC installed to decode the H264. The video works but I can't get the TrueHD working to my receiver. What settings do I need to choose to use Core AVC and also have TrueHD?

I hope you haven't installed haali that came with CoreAVC.
If you have, please let me know so i can help you avoid new problems.

No I followed your installation instructions. First installed 32bit, then installed Core AVC without Haali, then installed the 64bit.

Using version 240 of the x64 addon . . .
On the H264 TAB, select CoreAVC
On the MKV TAB, choose Gabests splitter.
On the Audio TAB select FFDshow passthrough.

version 240 has some audio fixes, so I recommend that version.

I reset all the settings and then selected the settings as you mentioned, but my receiver is recognizing the audio as 2 channel and not TrueHD.

I have the latest 240 version installed.

BTW the FFDshow tray icon shows up saying that it is decoding the TrueHD using libavcodec, however for some reason my receiver recognizes it as 2 channel.

To the best of my knowledge optical s/pdif = 2 channel.

Quote:This specification also allows for the coupling of personal computer digital sound (if equipped) via optical or coax to Dolby or DTS capable receivers. This only supports stereo sound

your receiver then upconverts the output to 5 or 7 channels depending on your configuration.

My computer is hooked up through HDMI to my receiver, which (I think) should be able to send the HD audio without any upconversion.

Shark007 · 02-07-2010, 04:56 PM

Agreed. But is it ATI HDMI?
If so, you best research a solution because I think there are alot of upset ATi owners getting into this boat.

No, it isn't ATI. My mobo is an ASUS w/ Nvdia GEforce 9300

I really do not know what else to tell you.
I am pretty sure my software is doing what it is supposed to do.

I own a pair of $15 speakers connected to the onboard audio,
so my knowledge on this topic has already gone way beyond my 'personal experience'

Alot of what i just releated to you comes from reading the AVS forums.
Hopefully, you can find a better answer over there.
