Unable to have AC3 audio while an HE-AAC decoder is enabled.

I thought my best bet would be to try to get the powerDVD decoder working with NPVR for both HE-AAC and AC3.
Currently, in the AC3 Audio list it shows as "Cyberlink Audio Decoder (PDVD10)", but I don't hear anything when playing an AC3 soundtrack. If I look at the properties (from within NPVR) I only get a "Miscellaneous" tab which allows me to select a compression level and Bass management. If I open settings from within PowerDVD, under Audio I can select the "speaker environment" mode "Use S/PDIF", but don't see the miscellaneous settings at all.
If I chose "Cyberlink Audio Decoder (PDVD10 UPnP)" I do get the option to select "Use SPDIF" from the properties within NPVR, but I still get no sound output.

I think I need a "standalone" decoder (with a standalone configurator) which will work for HE-AAC and AC3.

Until I find one, I'll just have to select the AC3 decoder when I want to use it.

I thought I would have another play with this.
Now, on NPVR 2.0.3, whenever I select any audio stream, even the one already in use, NPVR locks-up and I have to kill it via task manager.
Logs attached.

This is still the case with 2.1.5
Log shows: start NPVR, play a recording, select the audio stream (the only one, the one which is already working), playback pauses, Windows task manager shows nPVR as "not Responding". I "end process" NextPVR.exe.

The initial problem is now worked around by this fix, see http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php...post415099
The problem of not being able to switch audio streams is still there, but no longer impacts listening pleasure.
