7.1 FLAC in MKV - no sound

[XxDeadlyxX]

I just got an A-300, and any of my MKV's with 7.1 FLAC have no sound. 5.1 FLAC seems fine, so does stereo.

I am connected via HDMI direct to my TV, no receiver.

Any solution?

I recently also bought a Netgear NeoTV 550 and it has the exact same problem. The only media player so-far I have tried that does NOT have this problem is Boxee Box.

I have also noticed that those 7.1 flac tracks appear in the info as either Dolby Digital or MPEG1 audio.....

Can you cut a sample or post media info.

As you can this file is 24-bit, but the problem also occurs with files that are 16-bit, both 6.1 and 7.1 channels.
