7.1 audio mkvs wont play

[carguyshu 0]

any mkvs that i have that i have ripped with the 7.1 audio track won't play. when i click on the movie it just sits and stays there at 0 seconds. If i go into my task bar and right click on directvobsub and switch it to the 5.1 audio track it works fine. any idea how i can get the 7.1 track working?

I would check all your codec/splitter settings.

I'm using LAV audio decoder and splitter version 0.58.2 I'm not sure exactly sure what setting I'm needing to check or look at

Look at the options surrounding mixing and/or specific audio codec or channel support.

 

Also, if the 7.1 track is actually something like an Atmos track then it may need an updated codec to support it.

i updated my lav splitter and decoder and now everything is working

I actually have a very similar problem, but the provided answer didn't fix my issue. When I play an MKV via Emby my Haali splittler doesn't kick in nor does my Lav filter for high def audio. If I play the same movie just by double clicking it in file explorer everything works fine. Any ideas?
