Give us as many specifics as possible. Ie., what did you use to encode, author, etc.

the problem is that they wont play right in media player(which I prefer)

I too had the same problem, 'BirdDaddie'.

For me, it was solved by opening the AC3 settings dialog, and playing around with the 2 dropdown lists in the 'Output' section of the 'Main' tab.

I found that simply checking 'Use SPDIF' made all of my woes go away.

All files play fine (AC3/non-AC3), and I've made NO adjustments to the gain settings whatsoever.

As always, play around with the settings, and keep loading WMP each time to check on the changes (if you don't actually reload the whole program, it won't use your new decoder profile)

Hope this helps you out.
