I'm using my computer as my DVD player, however the software I am using will only output audio in stereo, is there a free player that will output multichannel sound?

    Is your computer a laptop or desktop/tower?

    What are you using at the moment?

    Thanks for your help, VLC does it perfectly.

    Chris I'm using both a laptop and computer connected to a projector and a USB soundcard that connects to my amp via a optical digital cable so the amp can process the signal.

    It is all working a treat now, many thanks and sorry for the later reply.
