EAC3 needs the separate Custom Codec (Settings > Decoder > Custom codec) - latest build is 3.1.0, which is the one MX Player 3.0.13 asks for.

Don't be thrown by the numbers not matching; the codec version tracks MX Player's internal decoder, not the app version. If it still won't load, VLC for Android handles EAC3 natively.

A little late, but I just saw your comment. It seems that Dolby has replaced their legacy Home Theater applications with the unified Dolby Access app, which you can find here:

HALAC's multithread feature has been mentioned many times. Yes, HALAC offers very strong multithread support. However, single core performance is already very good by far. So the speed does not come only from multithread.

Starting from version 0.3.x, HALAC uses RICE encoding instead of ANS. In addition, compression ratios seem to be much better than before, depending on the processing speed. And it has a lot of advantages over the FLAC format.

Since it is currently actively developing, updated APIs and dlls have not been presented yet.

A note first: we shortened your review so it stays readable for other visitors. Nothing that mattered was removed.

You were right, and the manifest leaves no room for argument.

We have now added the 3.0.2204.0 packages for x64 and x86, which do install on Windows 10 from build 17763. The 3.27.11071.0 bundle is still available, but it is labelled ARM64 and moved to the bottom of the list.

We also corrected the system requirements on the page, which wrongly said Windows 10 1903.

Thanks for opening the manifest rather than just reporting that it failed - that is what made the problem obvious.

Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021, build 19044, x64.

Add-AppxPackage falla con HRESULT 0x80073CF1: "carece del paquete
de la aplicación adecuado para la arquitectura x64".

Descomprimí el bundle y sólo contiene DolbyAccess_3.27.11071.0_ARM64.msix.
El AppxBundleManifest.xml confirma Architecture="arm64" y
MinVersion="10.0.22000.0".

CONCLUSIONES:
1. No se puede instalar en Windows Intel/AMD de 32 ó 64 bits.
2. No se puede instalar en Windows 10, que sólo llega al build 19045.
