Hi all,
Possibly a stupid question, but here goes. I’ve got a G45-based P5Q-EM HTPC running Windows 7 RC, connected via HDMI to a Denon receiver with a 5.1 speaker setup. I use Zoomplayer for non high-def playback and TMT3 for Blu-ray. If I configure the ffdshow audio decoder to pass-through DTS or AC3 sound, I only get 2.1 sound at the receiver. If I untick those two boxes, I get 5.1 audio but the DTS/DD lights go out (obviously ffdshow is decoding the DTS/DD and presumably passing it as LPCM). Similarly, if I configure TMT’s audio in HDMI mode, I only get 2.1 sound but setting it to 5.1 everything works (this is tested using a Blu-ray as well as a regular DVD).
Can anyone explain this behaviour? It seems that my receiver disables Audyssey when it’s getting LPCM, so I’d prefer DTS/DD pass-through if possible.
Cheers,
ET
