trying to playback some Blurays - using LAV decoding to LPCM (which is then output to my AV receiver via USB)
problem is - even with the equaliser turned on and the "pre-amp" turned to -12dB
DSP screen is still showing its getting to 100% - regularly - and therefore clipping/reducing dynamic range
I think its internal to the processing in MC itself as at -12dB on the pre-amp the output to my av amp is very very low
any ideas ? even if I set all the speakers in the other tab to negative gains- its still clipping ??
on a seperate note what exactly does the "source is correctly mastered for +10dB calibration" check box do ? does it only effect 2 channel (as I've read on other threads) - or multichannel? (as I'd have guessed)
its seperate to the clipping query as I'm getting clipping whether enabled or not
but .. basically my AV amp will accept 8 channel LPCM via USB (great)- it applies bass management etc to all the non-subwoofer channels. BUT the LFE channel (due to age of amp) does not have option to add +10dB to the LFE input to the amp - if I uncheck "source is correctly mastered for +10dB calibration" - will MC add +10dB to the LFE channel - giving me the right LFE level input to my amp?
of course the source is correctly mastered - but I'm just using the switch to give me the signal level I require (I think)
thanks for any help
