NEW: Bitstreaming Audio-only Files, Including Dolby Atmos

<< < (4/5) > >>

maid:
I am confused about this part
Instructions
You can enable bitstreaming in the Settings, under Audio -> Settings -> Bitstreaming, and either select a preset for how your audio receiver is hooked up, or enable individual codecs in the Custom section.

Can someone help explain this to me

Hi Guys,

Big fan of MCxx, started with MC22 through to MC27 then stopped upgrading cos it worked!

Please excuse ignorance, but "they" keep moving the goalposts so it's a sanity-check if anything.
I have read this thread, but I feel I'm missing some steps, so...

Can someone explain-like-I'm-five how to get Dolby Atmos out of a PC running MC31 ?

Physical layout:
PC -> HDMI -> Yamaha (atmos capable receiver)->  speakers

Source = MKV or MKA (from BluRay disc) or an original BluRay disc with Atmos (eg Dark Side of The Moon 50th BluRay)

So - assuming the above are valid - please advise if I'm wrong - now all I need are the JRiver MC31 settings...

[Also - MC31 can run in win8 / win10 can't it - not Win11 specific ? - and it will use the MC27 library ok won't it?)]

AND - at least as importantly - how do I know if it's working & I'm listening to the Atmos version?

Thanks in advance.
TTFN

rec head:
First a question; do you have an Atmos speaker layout? The AVR should tell you if it is getting Atmos.

The first step in getting Atmos is having MC set to bitstream via HDMI. I haven't tried audio only files so I can't speak to that.

salvadordalisdad:
I do have an Atmos layout, however, the "AVR" doesn't show what decoder it's using on the display.
Whilst I understand that Atmos is radically different to other streams and could/would/should be identifiable, there's no way to actually see that outside of the systems

A little display icon on the front panel would be very helpful, but there isn't one. Not buying a new amp. ;-)

That's the point of the question, "how do I send Atmos content to it" when I currently have MC27 which doesn't support Atmos.

I want to make sure I understand this MC31 upgrade will do it & I know that it will work with my content...and how to set it up, seems fair I thought.

-- How can I send Atmos to it ?

-- How can I tell if it's Atmos ?
