I recently upgraded my Mac mini from an old intel version to a Mac mini M4.
On upgrade, I transferred the user settings but noticed on playback of multichannel files that imaging / channel placement was wrong.
I initially noticed this on some 5.1 encoded Flac files in the new setup that had play back fine previously.
I then tried the same files in VLC and playback seemed normal there.
Going back to MC, I tried Tools > Audio Calibration > 5.1 and here I find that Center and Subwoofer are silent.
What am I missing?
Here's my current setup:
Mac mini macOS 15.3.1 > Media Center 32.0.8 > HDMI connected to Onkyo PR-SC5507
In MC:
Options > Audio Device is set to (Default) [Core Audio]
DSP Studio > Output Encoding = None, Channels = 5.1
Also of note, my new setup disallows .dsf playback whereas it was possible previously but I guess that's worthy of a separate thread
