Title: No output from Center and Sub while Audio Calibration
Post by: james0075 on July 23, 2022, 03:43:56 pm: I have a Macbook Air M1 with MC28.0.106(Silicon), while I tried to out put 6 channels music to Denon AVR-X5200W (HDMI in), there is no sound from Center and Sub. Then, I tied starting doing the calibration for checking each channel by Tools/ Advanced Tools/Audio Calibration, all channels works fine except Center(Channel 3) and Sub woofer(Channel 4). Could you help? Thanks.

Did you try a Google search for similar problems?

Look for similar problems that are not JRiver specific.

Post by: james0075 on July 27, 2022, 03:24:13 pm: I just tried to use Audio Midi to verify my system, looks like no luck. Audio Midi test each channel , result is ok, but no sound from center and subwoofer channels while using MC28.

Post by: james0075 on July 30, 2022, 06:26:57 pm: Besides Macbook M1, tried playback six channels music onto another two: iMac (intel) with MC28, and WIN10 with MC24. iMac and WIN10 all have no problems playback each channel sound during Audio Calibration and multiple channels music via AVR. Macbook m1 still has problem: There is sound from center channel while Audi Midi test, but no sound from center channel while performing Audio Calibration.

In my case, for enjoying multiple channels music, take WIN10 or MAC (intel), do NOT use MAC(Silicon), not compatible at the moment.

Post by: AGAWA on July 31, 2022, 02:13:56 am: MacMini M1, Monterey 12.5; MC29 0.66;

Audio Calibration from MC, 5.1 I get all channels during Audio Calibration.
My output is headphone out from mac to powered speakers (L and R).
I get full downmix of all 6 channels to 2 speakers.
(Channels set to 2 channels, JRSS mixing - on)
When Sub set to silent, there is no sound when testing Sub. With Sub on - Sub is present.

Hope it helps to isolate the problem.
