Server Version#: 1.40.3.8555 Player Version#:1.95.3.175-dd94cbd1 Hello, I recently upgraded my windows to update 24H2. Now when I launch any movie/whatever with an E-AC3 Codec, I have no audio ( Direct Play English - EAC3 5.1 ) I have found a work-around which is opening a movie with another au…

Yes, stop replacing the mvp-2.dll file and install the proper codec : [image] [BUG] Problem with (E-)AC3 Codec and Windows update 24H2 Desktop Players I am having the same problem, is plex going to reply on a way to fix this? I do not want to install AnWave as it is imme…

I just setup Win11 24H2 on a new miniPC and hit this problem. It’s unbelievable that Plex haven’t fixed this since it was originally reported 4+ months ago. Thanks Shun_lya for figuring it out.

Also here after installing 24H2 in the last couple of days.

Plex installer won’t be able to replace the dll. I added this on my…

Thank you. I was losing my mind trying to figure this out. I never would have figured this out. This worked immediately.

You’re welcome, now if only plex would do something to fix that…
