Title: Bitstream for Atmos
Post by: murray on November 09, 2019, 09:09:17 pm
I never bitstream using JR 23 with my McIntosh MX160 as i want to use the Audio Clock. However I also have an Atmos setup which i need to bitstream for those channels to play correctly. My problem is when I set JR to bitstream I get TERRIBLE Clicks and screams when I start one of my MKV rips. Is this something others also get when bitstreaming with JR?

I used to also get this on version 21. I hope I can sort this problem which has gone on now for years....

Bitstreaming of certain high-bandwidth Atmos titles, in particular from UHD discs, has been an issue in the past. There have been improvements to this in MC25, you could try with a Trial version to see if they are resolved for you as well.

I've '00s of UHD BD and can bitstream them without issue over HDMI to my AVR.  Hendrik fixed the issue with high-bandwidth titles awhile ago and I've had no issues since (they were drop outs)  I've never had Clicks or screams however.  I also don't use MKV's but rip all my discs in full folder structures as MC now also has the ability to play the original BD Menu which takes all the guess work our of Forced Subs, Alt Endings, or scene selection (eg where there are multiple eps on a single disc as with TV Shows).

I'm on MC25 and bitstream for ATMOS. All UHD movies are ripped as MKV. Never had any of the noise you mention. If it is one title maybe try re-ripping it.

I'm on the most recent v of 25 and experience weird pops, etc when first starting to play the Atmos audio from an ISO, namely The Beatles Abbey Road. It also occurs with other ISOs I have.

Exactly Im pleased Im not the only one with this problem! Yet I get it on startup of every ripped BD I play, and my quests blert out OMG what on earth is that! Its horrible, it doesnt happen if I bitstream from my Oppo, only on JR.
It also never happened in the old days when I used Kodi.

I wish one of the experts or developers would come in here.....
