What receiver do you have? My guess is that the problem is related to the "Valid" bits in the SPDIF stream, as suggested by Ray Heasman (http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg07787.html). Maybe my receiver is improperly interpreting these bits. Anyways, I replaced the YMF-754 based card with a C-Media CMI8738 based one and AC3 passthrough worked immediately. > OT: Do you know where to get any other .ac3 samples?

I got mine from http://www.digital-digest.net/downloads/files/trailers/ac3test.exe. It contains a voice track that identifies all 5 channels. With this track I also noticed that left and right channels were reversed. -- Koef. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: VM Ware With VMware you can run multiple operating systems on a single machine.
