Why is Dolby only Digital Output Format that works from WMC
« on: March 10, 2015, 01:13:42 am »
WMC 20 on Windows 7 pro WDM default driver. HDMI output to Yamaha 673 reciever.

Other options available but do not work?

An extremely brief google search indicates that your receiver isn't compatible with DSD.

Maybe you're getting DSD mixed up with DTS and DTS-HD, which the Yamaha RX-V673 does support? Admittedly, they do look a bit alike.

To expound, if you are running HDMI, you want to disable output encoding (set to None).

Hi, thank you for your replies.

Re not compatible with DSD, I was not suggesting I thought it was.  Merely showing the options the JRiver presented me with. But thanks for clarifying.

Re: DTS and DTS-HD, these are not options available to me currently within JRiver

Re: disable output encoding (set to None).  I'll try that now.  But last two attempts to run JRiver and is hung, so might be a reinstall.

Thanks again

Hurray, "...disable output encoding (set to None)" worked a treat.  Sorted lip-synch and audio format issues in one fell swoop.

Thanks all for your time and patience.

Steep learning curve been well worth it
