Following on from this post:
Still can't hear correct audio on football games. As instructed I right click on the Audio Program and get two choices. The first is the overhead without the announcers, the 2nd is the normal feed but with Spanish language. I don't speak Spanish so that is no help. As I have said previously the HdHome run software gives me the correct audio by default so I know it can be done. So far this is only a problem with college football (in this case the Penn state / Michigan game on 10/19). Also I don't understand how one can set up the SAP for recording? I closed Media Center (without clicking the stop button on the vcr control) and the audio keep running. I had to reboot. I have been having this problem for the last 2 versions. I just renewed for MC 26 so I hope that we can get it fixed someday.
It is interesting that when you record you get the sound you want, but not on live TV. There shouldn't be any difference between the audio available in recordings and Live TV, unless you are selecting a different audio PID in Live TV manually.
1. As per Jim's comment, set the Output Format in DSP Studio to Stereo so that MC will down-convert to stereo and play to your Roland Super UA DAC correctly.
2. Play the channel in question, preferably when a football game is on, and use the right-click process to select the audio that you want. Take note of what that audio stream was called and the PID number.
2a. Try selecting the "Use current audio stream as default" option in the right-click menu, just below the audio stream selection. That should change the channel data so that MC always uses that audio stream.
3. Go to "Options > Television > Manage Channels > {select the channel in question}", then check the "Audio PID" information in the dialogue on the right. It should now be set to the Audio PID you selected above. If not, click the Edit button and change the Audio PID to the number you determined above. Save the changes.
Now MC should use the correct audio stream whether you record a football game or watch it live.
Test this, and if it doesn't work, report back what actually happened. Be specific. In fact, if it doesn't work, play the football game in the HDHomerun software and see if you can work out what Audio PID it is using, when the audio sounds correct to you. That is what you should be using in MC as well. If it sounds funny in MC when using that PID then something in the DSP must be set incorrectly. That is a separate issue that can be tackled once you get the correct PID set for the channel.
I guess it is possible that the broadcaster only transmits a particular audio stream, or set of streams, for football games, and otherwise uses a different set of audio streams (PIDs). But that is unlikely, so the above should work.
