Your receiver does not "decode" AC3 per say. What it does is strips the AC3 stream off of the carrier and sends it to the digital audio receptacle on the back of your receiver. You need a stereo that can take a digital input in order to listen to the stream. Or you need to invest in a computer PCI video card as there is software that will use the computer to do the actual AC3 audio decoding and let you listen on soundcard output. :?
