Hi!
No matter what I try, I have never been able to get 7.1 analog from any movie using either MPC-HC (or variants ) or PowerDVD14.
I can test all 7 speakers working with the windows or creative control panels but when I try a movie..nothing on my side speakers.

2 things - I assume your playing a multi track file so try using XBMC and be sure to setup the audio section for 7.1 and your analog device....

I use an ASUS HDAV 1.3 Deluxe with JRiver MC and play alot of music and movies in surround with no problemo.

You need to use dtsdecoderdll.dll with lav audio codec and disable hd pass through

Above won't work that is pass through.

You need to use the dll from arcsoft tmt and put it in the lav audio program directory. This will allow lav to decode 7ch hd audio into pcm. If you search "lav dtsaudiodll.dll" you'll probably find the instructions.
