I don't think this is being marketed as a HTPC.  More like a low-cost, low-power PC for browsing weband streaming web videos (which don't use DTS or AC3).  The hardware could support those codecsbut they are not included because of license costs.  Most of the A10 tablets have better media support andthere are patches/hacks posted on the Chinese forums for adding DTS/AC3 support to Mele android.Even then, I think you will only get stereo PCM over HDMI and not the original bitstream for passingto a surround receiver.
You should be able to setup MX Player to only use SW decode for audio and do video decoding withHW acceleration.  If not, try BS Player.
