Windows 11 and Ac-3 audio

[almostinsane]

Yeah licensing I think. Just grab a player like VLC or the K-Lite codec pack that comes with MPC-HC player and it should be fine.

I think Microsoft might have offered a download in the Windows Store for surround sound or extra audio and video codec packages at some point maybe?

On versions of Windows prior to Windows 11, version 24H2, the AC-3 codec is included.

Beginning with Windows 11, version 24H2, the AC-3 codec is no longer included with Windows.However, many device manufacturers will pre-install an AC-3 codec. Also, if you upgrade to Windows 11, version 24H2 from an earlier version of Windows, the AC-3 codec will be retained. In these cases, you will still be able to play files encoded with the AC-3 audio codec.
