I've an odd problem with my current setup. GTX 650 card HDMI to a Pioneer LX88. I look at the Windows sound settings and it tells me all audio formats are supported - DTS/DD Plus/DTS-HD/TrueHD.
The problem is I can't bitstream DTS-HD or TrueHD nor bitstream Atmos content and MC fails with an unsupported content error, even though it is.
Using Monitor Asset Manager I can query the device and it tells me:
CE audio data (formats supported)
LPCM 2-channel, 16/20/24 bit depths at 32/44/48/88/96/176/192 kHz

I particularly want Atmos content to be recognised so its correctly processed onboard and likewise would expect all content to be passed through.
