New GBPVR install - no audio in livetv (same problem with Sage)

[Probedude]

I've run SageTV for years. About 2 years ago something happened to the pc setup such that I couldn't get sound when viewing livetv. Playing back video files were fine so I just lived with it.

Stopped using Sage (not much of a tv viewer anyways) a while ago, before the digital TV transition.

Today decided to set up my Hauppauge 950Q with GBPVR on the same pc as I'm now watching OTA and wanted to record in the Oscars in HD. Same problem as in the SageTV days - no audio during liveTV viewing.

I can play wav files file, windows sounds fine. Playing back recorded files is fine. Why do I get no audio during livetv playback?

You probably need to install an AC3 decoder, like AC3Filter.

That was it! Can't believe it was that easy. Back when I had SageTV I was trying to solve this and nobody could figure it out!

Thanks!
