Title: Correct DSP Settings
Post by: Johnny Stork on March 03, 2013, 10:24:46 pm

I am having trouble correctly setting DSP. I have a 24/96 cable card but currently only doing stereo output so I want everything except 24/96, converted to output as 2 channel 24/96. I assume this is the optimal setting? Upsample everything below 24/96 to 24/96, leave 2 channel 24/96 untouched and downsample everything about 24/96 down to 24/96?

Seems like everything is being converted and output as 6 channel 24/96, even two channel 24/96. And 6 channel high-bit-rate audio also seems to remain at 6 channel. But I see no settings to downmix 6 channel to 2 channel? Screen shots so the output path and channels/bit-rates.

You have selected 2.1 instead of 2.0. With 2.1, JRiver has to use 6 channels because the subwoofer must always be on channel 4. You will only have sound on channels 1, 2, and 4 with the other channels being empty. Any multi-channel sources will still be 2.1 so it is being properly downmixed.

If your sub is crossed over after the DAC, then pick 2.0 in MC's output settings.

Thank you kindly for your response, and this makes sense now. :)
