I have the exact same problem here. Any DTS material in .mkv files works like a charm, but dts-wav or .dts files just outputs stereo to my amp.

Just to update, I tried media player classic - home cinema and I disabled the internal switcher, DTS works like a charm. But still struggling with XBMC to get DTS wav working. Any help based on logs I posted?

Thanks

I have found a way to play DTS-CD in real DTS passthrough mode with xbmc.
you must:
one, use DVDPlayer to play.
two, config your sound card, set the digital output to 44.1khz.

I play DTS audio files over HDMI with no issues using DVD Player.

Try adding this line to your playercorefactory.xml file found in XBMC / system:

<!-- DTS Audio -->
<rule filetypes="(dts|wav)" player="DVDPlayer" />

Also make sure your default audio device is set to the correct digital output.
