receiver. Trying to troubleshoot something, maybe someone can come up
with something I've overlooked. The pc has an ATI 5450 graphics card
and I use the hdmi out for audio. ffdshow, mpc-hc and foobar
installed. When I play a multichannel flac, mlp, dts or ac3 with
foobar it sounds muffled and the audio doesn't seem assigned to the
right channels. When I play the same dts or ac3 song with mpc-hc it
plays correctly. I tried to play a multichannel flac with mpc-hc and
got the same results as with foobar. Any ideas? I'm down to it being
a receiver setting, foobar, pc, ffdshow,...just trying to not go
crazy!
