Title: Multichannel is converted to stereo (sometimes)
Post by: Dalvis on July 18, 2018, 08:48:56 pm: I hate to ask, but I'm clueless. I'm using an Oppo 105 as a renderer and for my surround music files there are no issues. My video files, however, only play in stereo. All the video files are MKV. I've tried setting the audio as "original" and "specified format." I have the same issue on MC21 and MC24. I'm confused why I can get surround from my music files (wav and flac) but not video.

Thank you for any help.

If it's not working when set to original, that means that the Oppo can't handle multichannel video over DLNA.

I emailed oppo to see if the 105 has a problem, but i don't think I described the issue. Oppo's solution was to use the USB port.

Any suggestions for troubleshooting are welcome

Thanks,
Dwayne
