Hi,
first I would like to excuse for my english. It is not my mother language (I am from Germany).
I recently updated from Frodo 12.3 to Gotham 13.2. Plattform is a windows 7 with a Creative Soundblaster soundcard.
I am working with SPDIF passthrough for DTS and Dolby. Using Frodo everything was fine - the passthrough worked, my receiver got the signal and encoded it.
After updating to Gotham I had no surround sound at all - although passthrough was activated.
I found a similar issue in this forum regarding the Fire TV: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid...9&page=210
I now have the settings as they are described there: only two channels, Dolby and DTS passthrough and Dolby Digital Transcoding enabled.
With these settings I have surround sound, but it is not really good - it is not DTS and not Dolby (at least my Yamaha Receiver shows that). If I remove the radio button "Dolby Digital Transcoding" I have no surround sound - no Dolby and no DTS.
I do not quite understand why it worked with Frodo and does no longer work with Gotham - so what am I doing wrong?
I would really appreciate your help.
Thank you!
