Disable AC-3/DTS passthrough by unchecking the checkboxes:

Enable AC3 to SPDIF passthrough
Enable sending AC3 audio directly to your sound card's SPDIF output, on 
sources which contain AC3 soundtracks (usually digital TV).  Requires 
that the audio output device be set to something suitable.

Enable DTS to SPDIF passthrough
Enable sending DTS audio directly to your sound card's SPDIF output, on 
sources which contain DTS soundtracks (usually DVDs).  Requires that the 
audio output device be set to something suitable.

in mythfrontend settings under the main general settings.
