Audio Support and passthrough

[sigpark]

Apologies to Rob van der Does for the wrong post, and thanks for the help Rob.

I have Vu+ Solo 2 running the latest release of Vix -3.0.783

Tonight I tried to play an .avi file with AC3 soundtrack - no joy on sound - indeed when I pressed the "audio" button on remote, there was no sound track evident - i.e. the Vu+ Solo 2 did not report a soundtrack either to "pass through" or down-mix on screen

I played the move on my P.C using VLC - no issues. Ultimately I copied the movie to USB, and played directly from Samsung SMART TV; using ARC I watched on TV and listened to 5.1 audio on amp.

Question: I have played DTS movies no issue on VU+ Solo 2, but this AC3 encoded film audio channel was not recognised by VU+ Solo 2 - either to down-mix or pass through - the audio info was blank - Why? Is this a driver issue?

Thanks

OK for info - if anybody believes or not. Samsung TV plays both rips, as does VLC; VU+ Solo 2 only plays the later rip. If I am asked I will provide two 5 second extracts of each rip - same movie.
