Hullo,

I would similar to ask you for support - how to use AC3 filter for playing of Music files.

The reason for AC3 filter is to play audio DTS and AC3 files in MP, AFAIK LAV liters in "Codec and Renderer" setting tin can play only DTS if I have dtsdecoder.dll, which I accept from Total Media SW, but it does not play dolby files (AC3). I am not using SPDIF only I accept continued vi channel power amplifier to analog output of my HTPC with Realtek ALC 887 chip.

Now I found out AC3 filter, which can be used instead of LAV filters in "Codec and Renderer" and this AC3 filter can handle DTS and AC3 files without any trouble. AC3 filter can set up also equalization for each channel separately, which Realtek audio driver does not do.

My outcome is I can not find the way, how to allow to utilize AC3 filter too for Music files - I can select only from Bass engine, WASAPI and internal dshow player. Equally I dont want to accept two audio settings - 1 for Alive Television set, DVD, BR and video files and ane for music files -> I would like to use too AC3 filter for music files too, but no idea how to do it.

Can someone assistance me, please?

Thanks.

I'm trying to achieve that myself. Information technology seems like y'all need to utilise dshow merely fifty-fifty and then it won't pick upward AC3Filter for some reason.

It seems like you need to use dshow but fifty-fifty then information technology won't choice up AC3Filter for some reason.

Then have y'all checked your codec merit settings?

So take y'all checked your codec merit settings?

Not sure how to practise that no.

Playback of .dts and .ac3 Files should work ootB in WASAPI mode.
Playback audiofiles with ac3filter, lavf, ffdshow...isn't possible afaik.

• #6

Playback of .dts and .ac3 Files should work ootB in WASAPI style.

What I want is to play whatsoever supported music through AC3Filter and then has to upmix ii.0 to 5.1.

• #7

Alright I plant out how to practice the upmix with BASS:

Thus I can use AC3Filter for movies and BASS for music.
Mark that thread has solved I judge since the main goal was to achieve music upmix non to employ the AC3Filter.

For your original request (just in case somebody is notwithstanding interested for some reason)...

AFAIK in gild for AC3Filter (or whatever other particular filter) to be used, AC3Filter must take the highest merit setting amongst all codecs that are capable of handling the media format.
There are many bachelor tools that could enable you to check and alter codec claim (Filmerit, GraphStudio etc.).

--- General warning to all readers ---
In my opinion changing codec merits is a "power-user" or expert task considering information technology impact all programs. I'd strongly recommend to learn a scrap about DirectShow codecs and codec claim before you make whatever changes. I accept no responsibility for problems caused by post-obit the instructions below.
--- end of warning ---

Filmerit...
http://paul.glagla.gratis.fr/filmerit_en.htm

Click Display (top card) -> Edit Merits (or click merit editor - first icon in the quaternary group from the left at the elevation).

Now y'all tin enter the new merit value. Values are hexadecimal numbers.

In lodge to utilize the change, you must become out of read-but style first (padlock in the top right corner). Pay attention to the warnings.

Thus I can apply AC3Filter for movies and BASS for music.
Marking that thread has solved I guess since the chief goal was to achieve music upmix not to use the AC3Filter.

I had same opinium in past, but not today. In my example I did not like these two things:
1) the volume level of music via BASS was different against to the book for video/Boob tube/DVD files
2) the sound qulity - i.e. surroug result for 5+1 configuration was different (with Ac3 better) with AC3 filter against to the BASS

AC3 filter as I mentioned to a higher place tin set up more than then standard realtek sound commuter - as far as I rememeber:
1) equalization setting level per each speaker
2) frequency equalization setting by user
3) LFE setting to the front speakers or to the loud speaker - for both limited frequency can be fix
4) enough of settings for surroundings
five) DRC

I think it is benefit to fix audio for all type of files in one codec SW to keep audio quality on same level for all type of content. Would it be possible to implement AC3 back up in to the Music role of MePo? The merit is the way, but equally mm1352000 mentioned above, it affects all programs...

I am using AC3 virtually three years without any crash by now.

AFAIK LAV liters in "Codec and Renderer" setting can play simply DTS if I take dtsdecoder.dll, which I have from Full Media SW, but it does not play dolby files (AC3).

Just a quick, off-topic, correction - LAV Audio Decoder can decode AC3 and DTS (including DTS-HD natively since version 0.65, so it does not need dtsdecoder.dll to exercise that).
