I´ve got a Notebook with an optical audio out. The Soundchip is an Intel based AC97. The OS is Win XP.
If I want to play DVDs with WinDVD, the Spdif-button in the Audio-Menu is greyed out. I can chose between the others an get a PCM Signal out into my Receiver (Yamaha RDS520). But if I switch the Registry-Key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\InterVideo\WinDVD4\Audiooutput from 0 to 1, the Spdif in WinDVD gets selected and works (the DD-Signal arrives at my Receiver) but stays greyed out :confused:.
Here comes the Problem: If i want to play AC3-DIVX-Files either with WinDVD4, PowerDIVX os BSPlayer, the SPDIF-Button is NOT selected and greyed out. I only get the PCM-Signal. I can select the Spdif-button in BSPlayer, but it makes no difference in the result. If I install some filters, it is getting even more complicated: The DD-Signal can not be decoded by my receiver. I am getting noise and nonsense. I only can put things right by restoring WinXP to an earlier System Point.
I have also tried some things in graphedit, but I had no success.
I have to mention, that I have a desktop, too, and everything works fine on it, meaning, that i do not have "normal" problems. But I think, that things have to work on my Laptop, too, because DVDs are running fine (and even the plain AC3-file is running in the right way).
I would be glad if anyone is able to post some serious hints.
