WinampAC3

This program is a Winamp 2.x/5.x input plugin to play .ac3 and .dts files. Based on the same decoder library used in AC3Filter.

Main features:

Playback:

  • Watch movies with AC3 and DTS audio tracks
  • Listen multi-channel (AC3/DTS) AudioCD
  • Playback WAV files with AC3/DTS content, ripped from multi-channel AudioCD without any conversion of these files.
  • Playback raw .AC3 and DTS files (with help of AC3File filter)

Process:

  • Up-mix any audio track (even plain stereo) up to 6 channels
  • Down-mix any audio track to any number of channels (to match your speaker configuration)
  • If you have an external Dolby ProLogic decoder, you may use ProLogic down-mix to help DPL decoder to extract surround information
  • Watch movies under poor hearing conditions (noisy environment, weak speakers, ...)
  • Decrease dynamic range to watch movies at night
  • Apply time shift to the audio track to synchronize audio with video.
  • Adjust gain of every input/output channel independently to compensate loudness differences
  • Adjust time delays for every channel to compensate different distances to loudspeakers.

SPDIF output:

  • Passthrough AC3 and DTS over SPDIF without any change to external decoder
  • Encode any audio to AC3 and transmit it over SPDIF
  • USB sound cards supported
