<<Moved Thread>>
Is there any way I can see debug output from MC to trace an audio bitstreaming issue I'm having?
I'm trying to stream DTS-HD/TrueHD to my Pioneer SC-LX88 but even though it correctly reporting supports these formats, MC refuses. I'd like to be able to see why MC thinks the receiver is not capable so I can get this bug fixed - Its a bug somewhere because Windows says its possible and so does the receiver when queried over HDMI.
This problem is driving me nuts because I have to keep switching bitstreaming for DTS on/off to correctly play DTS-ES/DTS-MA - DTS-ES has to be streamed otherwise its not recognised correctly in MC. For MA7.1 sources I have to switch streaming off to get dtsdecoderdll to process the MA otherwise MC refuses to play the content. I want *everything* bit streamed so it just works without trying to modify constantly. So, when MC pops up the message saying playback isn't possible I want to know why.
If I select to bitstream, why can't MC just send the audio data over HDMI irrespective and just warn the user rather than preventing playback?
For information, below are details of whats published by the SC-LX88 according to Monitor Asset Manager (MAM).
Interestingly, using
http://www.edidreader.com/ with the raw input block shows that where MAM is stating 16bit its not the case because no bit depth is explicitly stated. The E-EDID Editor from Deltacast.tv give an indication of what options can be set for each audio format (Found via this link: http://openelec.tv/forum/68-audio/65894-fixed-hd-audio-my-guide-to-edid-editing )
Appears that TrueHD is in the E-EDID spec
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_display_identification_data. In the Deltacast editor this is shown as 'MAT', in the online decode its shown as 'MLP'.
So, can someone give an indication of how to solve this??
Hardware is Plait GTX750Ti, latest drivers, HDMI to SC-LX88. Tried with WASPI, Direct Sound and various combinations of settings, all to no avail.
