I'm trying to play DTS audio with Windows Media Player 12 on Windows 7.

For a MPEG-TS file with video and DTS audio, only video is played.
A file containing only a DTS audio stream is rejected.

But: WMP is able to play the DTS audio stream of a DVD.

So, Is Windows Media Player able to play DTS audio, or not? And if: How do I make him play my DTS files?

I did not find any good resources of the supported codecs. Just things like "WMP can play .mpg files, ..."

VLC is able to play all of the above files.
I do not want to install third party codec packs, thats not the question!
