What sort of Amp are you using? Do you have the AFD setting on the Amp to where it will detect what sort of audio stream is coming in? What mode does your amp display when your playing an AC3 stream? Is it displaying DPL or Dolby Digital?

I've got a Sony STR-DB930.
The source for my computer is permanently set for coax input as this is the only connection from my computer to amp.

If I play music via Winamp then PCM shows on the display.
If I play a DVD via PowerDVD then is shows DOLBY DIGITAL a Blue Light shows on the front.
But if I play an AC3 avi then it show PCM again.

[EDIT]
Just thought I'd try another test. I played a vob file through bsplayer and it still didn't pass the AC3 bitstream to the amp so something is seriously wrong here.

BSPlayer ?? I thought only PowerDivX 3 can do this when setting AC3 output to SPDIF ?

Hell I don't know
I'm just following the advice of other forum members.
PowerDivx doesn't work for me either though.

Nope, I'm using ZoomPlayer, BSplayer and PowerDivX right now playing 5.1 AC3 SPDIF pass through perfectly right now They work, trust me.

BSplayer has had this feature for sometime.

Just followed the doom quide for this using graphedit.
I got to this bit and I think I've found the problem.
It says "Now press Stop in Media player, right click in the picture, select Properties, then select the advanced tab, click on the InterVideo Audio Filter and chose properties. Finally you should be able to set SPDIF output."
I can't select SPDIF. It's greyed out with the only option being Stereo or Dolby Surround.

Gonna try Zoom player to see if that works.

Well, after lots of mucking around, installing and re-installing I finally got it all working.

Big thanks go to all those that helped along the way.
