Windows 10: How do i get win 10 to bit stream dolby soundtracks.?

Just upgraded to win 10 but cant find how to get windows to bitstream dolby sounds to my amp?
media player classic still works fine and the amp shows dolby digital or dts ma etc when playing suitable films.
but the amp only shows pcm when using windows media player, even the dolby demo for edge only shows pcm.
Same issue with the netflix app, only pcm when dolby + soundtrack is selected?

How do i fix this please?

:)

 

Netflix - Dolby Digital - Windows 10 10532 build - using an Asus Xonar Essence STX card

I have found that if I assign the analog output (an output I am not using--I am using the SPDIF port) from the card as my default sound source, I output Dolby Digital on the SPDIF when using IE and Netflix. It is as if IE does not recognize that the audio
signal on the SPDIF is the assigned output for the Dolby bit stream.

It's working for online streaming, giving Dolby Digital, just I have assigned this unused output to do so.

How Do I Upgrade Win 10 32 bit to Win 10 64 bit?

To change architecture you must do a clean install and re-install all your apps. You can do this using the ISO. You must be activated on win 10 before you do a clean install

The fastest way to get the upgrade is to download the ISO. An ISO is like a dvd so to use it you will need to right click>mount. Start the upgrade from within windows.



WARNING: DO NOT USE THESE TO DO A CLEAN INSTALL (until after you have already updated). If you do
you will not be able to activate it unless you have previously upgraded to win 10 and activated it. You then will be forced to re-install your previous OS before upgrading to win 10

Warning Running the media creation tool may prevent you from rolling back to a previous OS

The Official Final Windows 10 download is now available

Use the download tool to create ISO media to update your windows.

k. found another issue, i use my htpc to also run my bedside tv with Bluetooth mouse. however i no longer have sound since going to win 10. my lg tv dosent even show up in audio playback devices when the amp in the other room is off.
the amp is set to pass through and always worked with win 7/8 and xp.
any idea on a fix?

 

Hey, I've got the same problem. Upgraded to Windows 10 so I could get the Netflix app and finally have Dolby 5.1 sound, but I can't get the audio to bitstream to my receiver... no Dolby icon lights up. Selecting 5.1 in the Netflix app under Languages only makes the sound louder.

Same for the Dolby Audio demo for the Edge browser. Sounds very good, but I'm unable to bitstream the audio.

However, playing .mkv movies with DD/DTS/DTS-MA/etc in Media Player Classic works just fine (I downloaded CCCP). It bitstreams to my receiver and my receiver displays the proper icons just like you'd expect.

I'm doing AMD 7950 > HDMI > Onkyo RX-SR707. Similar thread here: Netflix - Dolby Digital 5.1 not working on Windows 10 Build 10240 - Microsoft Community

I've also posted on other forums. I'll update this thread if I find anything promising.
