Setting up AC3/5.1 Output via SPDIF?
I can listen to MP3's and any stereo output via SPDIF and it all sounds fine but when I try to listen to any AC3/5.1 encoded files I just get a sort of machine gun white noise rather than 5.1.
I'm tearing my hair out over this so I'd really appreciate any advice :)
System:
DFI Ultra-D
Realtek ALC850 (latest Realtek driver)
Media Player Classic
PowerDVD 7.0.1813 Deluxe
AC3Filter
Xvid
CoreAVC 1.1.0.5
Cambridge Audio 540R Amplifier
5.1 speakers
Media player classic is the default player.
Here's a pic of some of the AC3Filter and MPC settings:-

It's a htpc setup and I'm playing back mostly HD content (ts,mkv,mpeg etc)
You might have noticed I'm running Vista (32bit) but for the purposes of checking everything out I'd like to know it should be set up under XP. Unless of course anyone has got 5.1 spdif out via onboard realtek working with Vista.
