[QUOTE="Nethfel, post: 1419669, member: 89124"] MKV's have multiple streams too - have you checked what's actually in the file? Perhaps it's sending the stereo stream instead of the 5.1 stream. I know whenever I encode an MKV I have a stereo track and optionally a 5.1 (or 7.1) track. What software are you using for playback? If you're using VLC the audio track selection would be in the Audio menu. If you're using Movist, MPlayerX, Plex the settings are there but just in possibly a different menu (I'm at work atm and don't have all of those on this system) Another option in VLC is to go into the preferences, under the audio preferences and try to force detection of dolby surround [/QUOTE]
