I ripped The Walking Dead S04 to mkv and I have a problem with TrueHD 7.1, it is downgraded to TrueHD 5.1
DTS-HD 7.1 has no issues at all. Does anyone have this issue?
Should I provide a debug log or is it pointless for that kind of issue?
Thanks in advance

Sounds like it's a problem with the mkv, are you using audio passthrough so an AVR is decoding the TrueHD audio? If so then we do nothing that will downmix the number of channels.
Use MediaInfo to find the properties of the mkv and compare to the Blu Ray using BDInfo.

Ok from a glance something strange seems to be going on, however I've had a few end of working week beers so I'll try and find the time to take a sober look tomorrow. If it's not too much hassle for you a sample might useful to see if it's something with your particular setup.

I've downloaded the file from Dropbox (so you can remove link above if you want) and it plays ok on my system with the AVR reporting 7.1, so definitely not a file issue, going out for a bit so will take another look at the log later.

The log seems to suggest XBMC is sending LPCM 7.1 out, so it appears to be decoding the TrueHD audio which is obviously wrong going by your settings, so where do you see TrueHD 5.1?

On my receiver.
I don't have this problem with DTS-HD, only TrueHD.

Something very strange is happening on your system, according to the log you shouldn't even be getting TrueHD out ?? Was the TrueHD option definitely selected when you did that log?
You could perhaps try defaulting your settings by renaming guisettings.xml (in order to keep backup of your original settings) with XBMC closed to something like old-guisettings.xml then when XBMC is started a fresh guisettings.xml is created with default settings. Do a bare minimum configure to access files and configure video & audio and try again. If no different you can revert back to how you were by deleting guisettings.xml and renaming old-guisettings.xml back.
If it's not that, then I can only think it's a driver issue.
