Getting Surround Sound 5.1 through VLC
Hi,
I have been reading a lot lately on this site and have been able to set up YDL, VLC and stream xvid files off my PC. I am having a problem being able to output 5.1 sound though. The xvid file I have Dled has AC3 5.1 but I think I am missing something.
In VLC options I have enabled S/PDIF and have turned Dolby Surround to Automatic, but the my receiver will not detect the 5.1. When I select 5.1 from the Audio menu while the file is playing it gets louder, but my receiver doesn't detect it and the sound has a bunch of static.
Is there some kind of codec I need or is there another global option that I need to change. Sorry for the newbie question, but I really want to get it to work.
Thanks.
