Hello,
My receiver is connected via optical from the onboard realtek sound device and supports up to 10 channel audio but I can’t seem to use MC18 to output 7.1 audio. I can output it as Dolby digital 5.1 using WASABI event style to my receiver fine or use source number of channels (which is 2 channel audio) and let my receiver mix up to 7.1, but when using MC to do the up mixing it will only output 2 channels regardless of how many channels I set in MC.
If I use HDMI I can send 7.1 to my receiver with MC but only if I set direct sound as the output format, I get and error with WASABI event style.
I think this may be a problem with the realtek driver for windows 8 but I don’t know because I never tried it in win7.
However it will also do the same and only give me 2 channels if I output optical from my Asus sonar STX using PCM. I can output Dolby digital from the soundcard but that’s limited to 5.1.
Am I correct in assuming that MC18 should be able to upmix a 2 channel digital signal to 7.1 in program, from sources other than HDMI?
Thanks
