Ever since I upgraded to Powerdvd 18 I stopped getting digital audio from MKVs, analog audio was ok. Oddly, MP4 digital audio played ok...and if I converted a bad MKV to an MP4 the audio returned. Its as though 18 couldn't recognize MKV digital audio streams.

Well....after weeks of fiddling I found the solution on my Windows 7-64 box:

- Under "Sound" in Windows go the Playback Tab/Properties of the active device and find the "Advanced" tab. UNCHECK the settings for Exclusive Mode (see attachment).

I did this and now all my MKVs play in digital surround in Powerdvd 18. It even fixed audio problems I was having playing mounted ISOs. So simple yet so elusive!
