TMT only plays in 2 channel audio

[DukeOfYabo]

I have the following setup:

Gigabyte GA-MA78GPM-DS2H motherboard
- AMD 780G chipset
- ATI Radeon HD3200
- ALC889A HD audio
- HDMI

Pioneer BDC-S02BK Blu-ray player.
Receiver: Yamaha RX-V661 (HDMI 1.2a).
Display: Infocus IN76 Projector (1280x720)
ArcSoft TotalMedia Theatre Version 2.1.6.120

I only ever get 2 channel audio in TMT for both standard def DVD and Blu-ray.

Using Vista Media Center and My Movies, the standard def DVDs play in DD or DTS as selected. I want to use TMT for Blu-ray playback. I have tested TMT both within and independent of VMC.

TMT setup shows 5.1 speaker configuration selected.

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards,
Duke

I presume you are using the PowerDVD that came with the Pioneer drive, it is only 2 channel support, need to get a full version of PowerDVD. Just need a full copy of PowerDVD 7 or 8, and you don't need an upgrade for PlayMovie, it is the same.

Nope, I purchased Arcsoft TotalMedia Theatre instead of PowerDVD and I'm trying to use that.

Is TMT thinking that it is decoding the 5.1 & not passing it through? Any SPDIF passthrough settings?

Thanks Justin.

Silly me. Yes, selecting S/PDIF instead of 5.1 works. Maybe if it said explictly "pass-through" I would have chosen that option. A bit confusing for a noob like me as I was using my HDMI connection.

how do you incorporate TMT2 into VMC? I have installed TMT2 in Vista but I don't see any links or plug-ins for TMT2 in VMC.

I just installed it on my test machine (testing DXVA) & it installs a custom strip on the start page of VMC - have you rebooted?

It also installs a link in Program Library.
