You're got the Directsound device selected in your XBMC audio config, but DTS is only supported with the WASAPI driver so select the "WASAPI: SPDIF-gränssnitt" device and make sure Speaker Configuration is 2.0.

I tried with just AC3 enabled, then I get no sound for any videos (DTS nor AC3). With only DTS enabled I get sound (no passthrough though) for AC3 videos.
No difference when using the allowtranscode44100 in advancedsettings.
I think I need a new sound card, any tips of a cheap one that will work that has SPDIF out? :-)

I tried with both options right now, and still no sound.
Since it is probably a driver issue, I uninstalled all sound drivers and installed the latest one I could find. After some tweaking in the control panel, I got WASAPI to work with both DTS and AC3.
Thanks a lot for all your help!!!
