I have a new ASUS Vivopc VM40B PC. Came with Windows8. I am trying to get a player on it that can play my video files. This PC has SPDIF audio out, but I cannot get it to work when the source file has DTS sound. I tried MPC (which I have used on my previous HTPC), AC3 works fine when I select SPDIF, however if I select SPDIF for DTS I get no sound. If I select speakers and have it decode the stream, I get sound but major sync issues.
I tried FFDSHOW external filter, and had same result when set to SPDIF.
I tried VLC, same issue.
I tried XBMC, sound works OK via SPDIF in XBMC, but video performance was not so good, and I am not a big fan of XBMC.
Windows Media player plays the video great, but no sound.
..
My older HTPC is XP, and I had to go through all kinds of hoops to get MPC to work when playing MPEG4 and VC1 content under XP, with no hardware support to speak of. I was hoping that Win8 would be a great improvement given that the OS was ten years more developed..
If you have worked through this issue and have a suggestion I would appreciate the help.
Thanks.
