Title: HDMI Bitstreaming Not Working MC17 (SOLVED)
Post by: l0ck_st0ck on April 15, 2012, 11:33:07 am

Hi im using HDMI out from an Asus M4A785TD-V EVO to an Onkyo TX-SR577 receiver.

I have set bitstreaming to HDMI but I either get no sound or just stereo.

Have I done something wrong?

Works ok with 7mc and ffdshow.

Cheers

Under Video in MC options, did you check bitstreaming?

In DSP Studio, turn off all processing.

Use WASAPI Event Style, not WASAPI, if possible.

See the Audio Setup topic in our wiki.  Start here:

If you go to Control Panel/Sounds, and check the properties of the device you're using, there are some tests.  Can you get surround sound there?

no just stereo

Then it is probably driver related.  If you don't get surround sound there, you won't get it in any player.

I seem to have fixed this now, went to Control Panel > Sounds > HDMI Output >  Properties > Advanced, and ticked both exclusive mode boxes.

Now using Direct Sound I can play my music in all channel stereo and my films in dolby.
