5.1 Surround on BSPlayer

[adicoto]

I can see that AC3Filter reports unknown input.
What kind of file are you playing ? (AVI, MKV..... ?)
Sound is AC3 ? DTS ? AAC ?

The file is ".mkv", and I don't know what sound is, I don't know how to know it if you know what I mean.

Thanks for everything.

Usually MKV's come with AC3 or DTS sound.

So, first of all, play the file and post here filters used to decode the file ( play file -> rightclick -> options -> filters)
Second, open the file in programs such MediaInfo (which shows which codecs were used to encode the file)

Hi,

I've made a clean win 8 pro 64 bit clean installation in my laptop, and I've installed bs player and AC3 filter.
I have connected Creative X-Fi Extreme Audio Notebook 5.1 speakers.
When I play an MKV file with DD 5.1 sound, in bs player the ac3 input is 2.0 stereo, the output 5.1 (set by me).
Any ideas why the bs player doesn't understand the 5.1 input? Before new installation the mkv played ok.

Pls advise

Regards
Chris

Like adicoto already mentioned in his last post in this thread:
Please let us know the filters used by BS.Player when playing the file:
rightclick > Options > Filters > Advanced.
Be sure to click on "Source" and on the small +signs in front of the filters/codecs shown so that further info (and access) becomes available.

(If applicable: forget about BS.Player's "InterVideo AC3-page".)

Hi again,

I uninstalled bs player 2.51, installed the latest version and also the ac3 2.5 version.
Still, while playing 5.1 mkv file, the audio input is 2.0.
Can anyone help? Is it possible combatibility issue with win 8?
