Hi all.
I have some .dts and dts in wav container files. I use ac3filter to reencode them to ac3 in realtime to output them to my surround system (damn LG TVs that don't accept dts signal to forward it from HDMI). I simply set it to change nothing (speakers, sample conversion and depth set as 16bit) and enable spdif and ac3encode - it works with all my dts files. Please don't school me about reencoding sound and loss in quality or that I could buy a cheap box to play those files outside my PC. That is beside point.
Some files play fine, ac3 files mostly work (but not all) and few .dts files work when played using dvdplayer, none of my .wav (dts in wav) works.
I am guessing it has something to do with sample rate conversion, but why is a question as my reciever accepts all 44, 48, 96 (but not 196 - is that a optical interface problem? because coaxial works with 196 too) in both 16 and 24 bit quality. I would give it up as a lost case if those few files did not correctly encode to ac3. I can't find any other option to change (where is this advanced menu that I keep reading about - is it some file somewhere?)
My setup is as follows:
audio output - optical/coax (setting to hdmi does not change anything and I read on forum somewhere that it enables ac3 encoding for movies)
speaker: 5.1
ac3 receiver: enabled
dts receiver: disabled
audio output device: wasapi:nvidia hdmi
