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…

Do you have “codec packs” installed in Windows? If so, remove them, reboot, then install only this one: Releases · Nevcairiel/LAVFilters · GitHub If there are no codec packs, install the above anyway.

I don’t have any codec installed. I installed the one you linked, doesn’t work either.

Which selections did you made in Settings - Plex for Windows - ‘Advanced’ - Player Particularly for “Audio Device” (and “Audio Device Kind”)? What kind of connection do you have between your comouter and the speakers? Which devices are in the signal chain, in which order?

I had Audio device : Auto select device. I also tried putting my main audio device and it doesn’t work either. The device kind is “basic”. I used either an USB Audio interface (Fiio BTA 30 Pro, connected to USB) or a Bluetooth soundbar. I also tried my integrated motherboard audio. it used to w…

No I don’t. Actually I found a solution, plex is using an outdated version of mpv. I updated the dll manually in the plex folder with this one : mpv-dev-x86_64-v3-20230115-git-6cdce9e.7z 2023-01-15 24.8 MB https://sourceforge.net/projects/mpv-player-windows/files/libmpv/mpv-dev-x86_64-v3-2…

Still no answer about this. Also I have a suggestion to the plex team, they should put work into supporting the new libmpv dll because the one I found will stop working eventually in the future like the one before. And this time it won’t be as easy as replacing the dll file to make it work again, …

I could never get Dolby Atmos for headphones to work, this fixed it, thanks. Have been meaning to dig into it for a while but never had the energy. Thanks again. [image] Shu_lya: I updated the dll manually in the plex folder with this one : mpv-dev-x86_64-v3-20230115-git-6cdce9e.7z 2023-01-15 …

Thank you for your input, another proof that plex is using a very outdated version of mpv.dll and needs an update asap.

I have forwarded this info to the team. Thank you for the report! Also thank you to @blackzwe for the additional detail!

Do you have another software with audio playback abilities installed and running?
And if so, is the “exclusive mode” for the audio interface enabled in its settings?
