So... after recent Microsoft Store updates EAC3 audio stopped working

Plex Players
1

Server Version#: 1.42.2.10156
Player Version#: 1.112.0.359

So I entered MS Store today, and clicked “Update all”. It automatically updated below apps:

After that, on DirectPlay all of a sudden I have no audio when playing back EAC3 5.1 audio…

Audio works if I do Conversion manually for example to 720p.

I believe a codec or two were screwed…

I wonder if this works

EDIT: It works! Just follow above steps with the latest DolbyDecMFT.dll x86-64 bit version.

I don’t have MS store and I have the same issue. Registry tweeks are not a solution. a new version of plex for windows was released today 1.112.0.359 and has broken multiple things. This is just one of them..
