Request change in handling of multi-channel

<< < (3/18) > >>

Hendrik:
Selecting "Source Number of channels" works just fine. I confirmed it just now. Note that for an output device to see such a change, you need to use an exclusive audio output like WASAPI in exclusive mode.

pschelbert:
Stereo and Surround 4, 5, 5.1, 6 channels work (with 4-way crossover, total 12 channels).
I configured 12 channel fix.
DAC is a RME UFX.
I play flac with various numbers of channel. (and bit rates)
Stereo gets stereo out
5.1 gets 5.1 out and any other combination also.
The files must be in standardized channel format ITU):
1 left
2 right
3 Center
4 Sub
5 Rear left
6 Rear right

In that combination JRiver works fine (MC22.0.11)

If your Audio Device in Tools > Options > Audio Device says [Direct Sound] after it, you are going through the Windows mixer after the audio leaves JRiver. Your Sound settings in Windows Control Panel will then determine how many channels you are actually outputting.

Use a hardware direct method of output:  Audio Output Modes

i have some dsd files that are 4.0 audio and source number of channels does not work for me.  i need to set up a zone as 5.1 to hear the surround channels as jriver outputs 2.0 if i use source number of channels.

anything that is 2.0, 5.1, 7.1 work just fine with source number of channels

You can try but, if you are playing to a 6-8 channel DAC and you set the output to (Same as input), you get improper channel mapping with 4.0 and 5.0 sources.  I have not had such problems in years because selecting 5.1 works for me with any source format.
