In my case I did not like these two things:ġ) the volume level of music via BASS was different against to the volume for video/TV/DVD filesĢ) the audio qulity - i.e. I had same opinium in past, but not today.

AC3 FILTER' HOW TO
As I dont want to have 2 audio settings - 1 for Live TV, DVD, BR and video files and 1 for music files -> I would like to use also AC3 filter for music files as well, but no idea how to do it. My issue is I can not find the way, how to allow to use AC3 filter also for Music files - I can select only from Bass engine, WASAPI and internal dshow player. AC3 filter can set up also equalization for each channel separately, which Realtek audio driver does not do.

Now I found out AC3 filter, which can be used instead of LAV filters in "Codec and Renderer" and this AC3 filter can handle DTS and AC3 files without any problem. I am not using SPDIF but I have connected 6 channel power amplifier to analog output of my HTPC with Realtek ALC 887 chip.

The reason for AC3 filter is to play audio DTS and AC3 files in MP, AFAIK LAV liters in "Codec and Renderer" setting can play only DTS if I have dtsdecoder.dll, which I have from Total Media SW, but it does not play dolby files (AC3). I would like to ask you for support - how to use AC3 filter for playing of Music files.
