Title: Audio encoding to LPCM
Post by: eltomassito on May 12, 2014, 04:50:27 pm: Can MC encode audio to multichannel LPCM when using Videoclock instead of encoding to DolbyDigital?

Disable dolby encoding to use it.

Are you outputting to HDMI? Or streaming via UPnP / DLNA?

Post by: eltomassito on May 13, 2014, 01:09:49 pm: Yes. By HDMI to my AVR. If I select DSD in "Output Encoding" list instead of Dolby Digital then "Channels" list becomes greyed out and "2 channels stereo" is selected.

Post by: eltomassito on May 13, 2014, 02:59:56 pm: I have to because I'm using Videoclock. Normally I'm using reclock but I want to test MC with videoclock to try that it can do better reencoding then reclock. Losseless LPCM would be great because reencoding DTS (99.9% today movies) to old crappy Dolby Digital is a little crime:) But unfortunately I think I have to stay with DD so far:(

Either you are missing something fundamental or I'm missing details.

Why can't you just use multichannel PCM?

Sorry, my fault. Now I see if I don;t set reencoding in Audio\Settings\DSP and Output format... then audio is multichannel on LPCM. Thanks for guide me :)
