Getting AC3 Audio to Play on Samsung HT-TX22
I finally got my home theater speakers setup properly. So the next thing i find myself doing is going to the local music stores to buy sensurround audio music. I couldnt find any. So I bought some on the internet from Itrax.com. The problem here is that I chose the AC3 format. It doesnt play on my PC and I cant get Nero to burn it as a DVD or as a Music CD.
Geesh. I was stuck. Until I tried this neat little trick.
I copied the ac3 files over to my DVD drive in windows Vista, and then just ‘burned’ it as a regular file/folder data DVD. No special processing was needed. I then ported it over to my Samsung HT-TX22 and inserted the disk. Up came the “root” and the folder displayed the AC3 files. It then played the files correctly!
Hope that also helps you if ever you encounter the same problem.
