DVD Rips won't play in Surround Sound
David Sydney:
mmm OK. My PC Audio exits via S/DIF Cooax to my Yamaha TSS-15 for PC sound (in my signature). Turned off bitream as you suggest to default setting. Using WASAPI sound output is direct (blue cog) and set as exclusive use in the settings by default I think - don't remeber changing that. I still do not get volume control at the PC end.
wer:
With that device, if you want to send more than 2 channels, you would have to bitstream. Therefore, you will not have volume control over multi-channel audio. That has nothing to do with WASAPI, and does not restrict you from having volume control over 2-channel audio.
Show a screenshot of Options->Audio for the zone. Make the dialog big enough we can see all the settings.
Show a screenshot of DSP Studio:Output Format for the zone.
And describe exactly what you mean by "I still do not get volume control at the PC end." There is a volume control in the top left corner of the MC window. See they yellow line? When you slide it up and down during playback, exactly what happens? And if you're thinking about replying "Nothing" make sure you pay attention to whether the amount of yellow in that line changes, and what happens in the text display at the top center of the window, where all your playback info is, when you are moving the volume control.
David Sydney:
Clicking on the yellow volume control on top left does nothing to the volume output no matter where it is at. Clicking on the windows system volume icon (lower right) does nothing to change the output. Settinging for 5.1 zone Volume mode is on application as per screen shot. DSP is direct with volume leveling which does actually affect the volume level.
Audio settings for 5.1 zone is WASPIm , sub-dialog Exclusive. as mentioned volume mode is application - but I have tried volume mode on system also with no effect. Sound is straight out to the TSS-15 and volume I have to control on that box.
As it turns out Bitstream setting as None, or S/PDIF has no effect either for the zone.

All you said is effectively "it does nothing". So read what I said above, and please try answering my question again. I want to know how the application reacts. When you move MC's volume slider, you should see the numbers in the text display at the top center change: Volume 80% (-10.0dB), 67%, 45% etc. Those numbers are only visible while you are moving the volume control. If the app recognizes you are changing the volume, but the sound reaching your ears does not change, that means something different than if the application does not react at all to the volume control.
Next, change your volume mode to internal volume, and test again.
Make sure you are playing regular 2ch audio.
Can you confirm you are NOT using ZoneSwitch? I want to make sure you are manually selecting a zone for playback, and that it's not automatically routing certain types of material to certain zones regardless of what you do.
David Sydney:
Thanks Wer for your time. Yes the application responds when I change the Volume (yellow) bar. Yes the progress changes to show the percentage and db level. No the volume does not change out of the DAC. Yes changing the windows system volume bar changes or the windows volume mixer for the MC application registers the change - no the volume of the DAC output does not change.
No I do not have any zone switching rules setup, the only way to change the zone is Ctrl+T or clicking on the zone in the left Playing now window. In all the examples above I have been playing stereo music tracks not multichannel audio. If I played a multi channel DVD it switches automatically to AC3 etc. but still cannot control volume from MC or Windows.
Congratultions if I change to Volume mode "Internal" suddenly I have volume control!! Perhaps this should be set as the default setting because it was not when I setup on this new PC! As long as I do not tick "Loudness" it also stays as direct output. If I am in another application Windows volume setting still does not change - I have to switch back to MC to change the volume ouput. Thank you.
