media drive audio problem

muppet01 · 2011-03-26 12:03:33

Just purchased an iomega screen play mx and loaded it up.However i only get audio on some movies, ive narrowed it down that the drive is not playing any movie audio in dts format. Any ideas on how to sort it:confused:

It doesnt support DTS decoding so you only have two options:

1) Pass the DTS audio stream out to an external receiver that supports DTS (do you have a surround system?) using spdif or HDMI. That is assuming the Iomega supports DTS passthrough.

2) Convert the audio to a supported format (eg AC3). You don't need to convert the video, just the audio, so it is a relatively quick process. Popcorn MKV AudioConverter seems to be a popular choice, although personally I would do it manually.
