Hello everybody, i finally decided to give XBMC a try and i gotta say its really nice. However i have a question regarding surround decoding.
Currently i use Powerdvd 12 to play blurays and mkv's made with makemkv and im pretty sattisfied except with the interface, everything is too small to read from afar, thats why i picked XBMC.
However the problem i have encountered is with the way 7.1 content is being decoded. I use a DTS HD sound check file i got that i use to test every speaker and the problem is that Side channel output and Rear Channel output are being played thru the same speaker, like for example RIGHT SIDE and RIGHT REAR both come from the Side Speaker like if it was a 5.1 setup.
I know its nothing to do with my setup because the same file played thru PowerDvd 12 has the correct mapping and i get every channel mapped to the right speaker, so i was wondering if there is a setting somewhere that needs to be tweaked. I have already changed my audio output to the proper device and so.
Thank you for any help you guys can give me.
