Surround Sound Movies on 2ch device

(1/1)

edbro:
If I attempt to watch a movie encoded with 5.1 audio on my Mac Air I do not get any dialog. I get a bit of background noise which I'm assuming might be just one channel. How do I get full audio on these videos?

When I right click and select Streams I sometimes see multiple options but, all are checked and I don't seem to be able to deselect one or choose.

blgentry:
You are probably hearing left and right without the center.  All of the dialog is usually in the center channel.  Go to DSP Studio > Output Format > Channels .  Make sure it is set to "2 channels" and that you have JRSS Downmixing selected. 

When you do this, MC will take your 5.1 channel surround and mix it into 2 channel so you can hear the dialog, surround effects, etc. 

Best of luck.

Brian.

edbro:
Many thanks. That did the trick.
