(1) AC3 and DTS audio are played through DirectShow. You need an AC3 parser filter (like AC3Filter) and a decoder [[filter]] like FFDShow. Configure these to either send data to your outboard decoder via SPDIF, or decode and output to your speakers connected to your soundcard. |

(2) RealAudio files with the .ra extension will be played natively in Media Center if appropriate DirectShow filters are present. You will need to install "Real Media Splitter" (http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=82303&package_id=87719) and a Real Media Decoder such as FFDShow (http://ffdshow.sourceforge.net/tikiwiki/tiki-index.php?page=Getting+ffdshow). |

This list is subject to change.
To make sure your installation is capable of playing all the available media formats, periodically select the "Check for Updates..." item on the <Help> menu.
