Just for my understanding: The A/V problem exists because the soundcard clock doesn't know anything about the DVB-clock respectively timestamp and there's no way to get the current video-timestamp which is displayed at the moment. So the only way in my eyes is to use the spdif of the DVB-card for perfect A/V-sync. There are different ways to transfer AC3 over spdif: - a real AC3 stream (like DVD playes do) - AC3 embedded in PCM (like AC3overDVB and bso) bso can set the nonaudio-bit, AC3overDVB can't. Why? is this a hardware limitation? Can it theoretically worked around by some soldering etc? Long time ago there were so called 'copy-bit killer' Can I set the nonaudio with a similar circuit. As other mentioned this should also be done by a soundcard by reading from spdif-in, set the bit, and writing to spdif-out (it's definitely a bug in the sony-firmware why my receiver can't play AC3 over DVB. I've a AC3 and DTS CD, the surround sound is wrapped in PCM-frames. DTS is played fine, AC3 not. The behaviour is the same as if replaying AC3 over DVB. BUT if I skip quickly from an DTS to an AC3 track the receiver sometimes "hangs" on DTS but plays AC3 WITH SOUND) > @Roland Praml > > Thanks for your suggestions and help! :) no problem ;-) Roland
