Hi Zato
This may be a stupid question but are you definitely selecting a 5.1 sound track on the DVD? They usually have multiple sound tracks and often default to the standard stereo track.
You're supposed to be able to use the green button on the remote (or ctrl-g) to switch audio tracks when playing a DVD but I've found this doesn't always work. The other (more reliable) way is to go to the DVD menu (press ESC once while the DVD is playing or BACK on the remote) then look for an options or audio menu. The other advantage of doing it this way is being able to see what soundtrack you're selecting rather than just flicking through them blindly.
I've got AC3 and DTS 5.1 working fine with AC3Filter. The only thing that annoys me is not being able to have SPDIF passthrough to the receiver and normal mixed down stereo to my TV at the same time! If I play anything with an AC3 or DTS output I get no sound on my TV and have to turn the receiver on or change the settings on AC3Filter (disable SPDIF)!
Cheers
Tony
