Xtreamer Ultra 2 - LPCM 5.1 encoded movies sounds very strange

[RuneW]

I've ripped my whole BD collection and some of them has lossless PCM 5.1 sound. These, however, does not sound well at all. The receiver reports these audiostreams as being only 2 channel and it sounds like these two are the surround channels or something...

I've (at least tried to) installed the latest Frodo build from here:

When checking the audio/video info on the Xtreamer it reports the audio as being "pcm_bluray 5.1", but popping up the audio info on the receiver (Onkyo 3009) it reports "PCM 2.0 ch" (see attached image).



In the system settings I have checked the option "Multichannel LPCM compatible receiver" (see attached image).


(sorry about the norwegian texts on this image - please use your imagination...)


I'm at wits end and have no idea about how to make this work. Any help would be great!');

why is your audio device different then your passthrough device?

Why.... I dunno... I have no good answer to that... I assumed that the receiver should only be set as the passthrough device. I never imagined that the receiver could also be set as the audio device

I just tried to set the receiver also as the audio device and lo an behold, now it seems to work great!

Thanks a lot lrusak! :cheer:
