Dolby Atmos playback from a pc sound card

<< < (3/3)

Hendrik:
You can't modify audio before its being bistreamed.

NiToNi:
OK so MC would have to decode -> process -> re-encode -> output. Video would have to be delayed for synching.

Every $300 receiver is allowed to decode -> PCM process (Audyssey, YPAO, AccuEQ, Dirac etc) -> DAC -> pre-> amp.

BadMax:
I guess it will never happen.
How old is Dolby Surround now and there is no software decoder for it.

I wonder why, because it is not really complicated if you compare it to stuff like MAME.

Edit
Just found this article:

But it came to my mind that sound cards have Dolby Pro Logic II.
So a sound card would be possible.
But i guess it would be expensive.

The thing i don't get is that you get cheap AVRs that can do all this stuff.
If you search for a standalone decoder you have to pay $10.000...

NiToNi:
It's just too sad the whole thing... ::)

BadMax:
Wow i never saw it before.
There is software dolby surround: https://www.dolby.com/us/en/technologies/dolby-home-theater-v4.html

I wonder if it looks at the matrix of old dolby surround (stereo) sources and takes this into account when doing the calculation.
