Request change in handling of multi-channel
tbng:
We have gone a bit far afield from the original upgrade request that began this stream.
To reiterate: JRiver software works exactly as I want it playing both multi- and two-channel recordings but only if I manually switch between pre-defined two-channel and 5.1 channel zones before initiating playback. The original question remains open: Will JRiver provide an upgrade to automate this function?
JimH:
ZoneSwitch should do that. Are you sure it doesn't?
If not, please start a ZoneSwitch topic.

There is nothing for Media Center to fix; you need to select the appropriate number of output channels for your device (5.1 / 7.1) if you are using a DAC rather than an AVR or Sound Card (or an AVR/Sound Card which lacks support for formats like 4.0).
Then Media Center handles the channel mapping rather than passing it through as-is for the device to handle.

I was not disputing that.

1. Configured with "source number of channels," JRiver cannot and will not playback a multi-channel source but demand that the user change to a two-channel output configuration to continue. The name implies that it functions as an automatic channel selection setting, but it does not.

This seems to be the issue here. I am not currently set up to test this, but do others see the same thing? That Source Number of Channels will not play back a multi-channel source? This does not seem right to me. Could it be an HDMI issue with the Meridian HD621 HDMI interface?

Make sure that your audio device is configured to use WASAPI Exclusive Mode when "Source Number of Channels" is selected as the output.
Then the number of channels should match the files being played.

ZoneSwitch cannot handle mixed playlists of stereo and surround files. It creates two separate playlists.
