Can't get AC3 Audio from MKV to render

Need some help. Have a W7 WMC that conncets through a Denon receiver to a 7.1 speaker arrangement. WMC renders DVD's (.iso files or physical media) correctly, passing through DD AC3 to the receiver. WMC also renders TV correctly (from sat receiver or ATSC tv card), passing Dolby AC3 to the receiver for rendering. But, when playing MKV files, with AC3 audio in them, WMC does NOT pass through the AC3, but a stereo signal. I have attached a MediaInfo file on a rendered MKV file, as well as the output from MatroskaDiag.exe.

I can't see any reason why my AC3 audio in my MKV file is not passing through to my receiver. Can anyone take a look at the results and give me some suggestions on where I can make changes to AC3 audio in MKV files renders successfully in WMC?

Thanks,
Jeff

Had to down rev. my version of AC3 Filter from 2.6.0 to 1.63 and set up per the thread above, now MKV with ACE is passing through to my AVR and playing correctly.
