I believe DGIndex is set to ignore the audio by default.
Audio -> output method -> decode AC3 track to wav is what I do

Yep, as Kariudo explained, you have to demux your audio. Depending on what kind of audio you have, though, decoding ac3 to wav might not work. Demux All will get everything demuxed. Of course, they will be files on their own which you will have to properly import in your NLE afterwards.

If you're playing the file in DGIndex, then it's because DGIndex doesn't do that. It's not a media player.

If you're playing the AviSynth script that you either wrote yourself or DGIndex wrote for you, it's because you didn't load the audio back in or tell the template to. d2v files don't do anything with regard to audio.

Never ever EVER do audio in avisynth. The best option in DGIndex for handling audio is to demux, but if you ripped it properly you should have demuxed it in your ripper in the first place. Decoding to WAV is a bad idea and I have no idea why anyone would suggest it other than not knowing what they're doing but trying to sound clever. If you mean you get no audio playback, then that is understandable as DGIndex is an indexer and doesn't actually play anything back. You should always handle your audio separately to your video. The only times to use DGIndex to handle audio (and even then only demuxing) is with an MPEG2-TS file from a DTV capture. DVD and BD ripped files should all have their audio extracted when you split and decrypt them.

I'd say for DVDs it's fine to still use DGIndex for the audio demuxing... but yes, for BDs, it's best to go the eac3to route.

If you're splitting your vobs, it's far easier to do it in your decrypter. Also lazymodo.
