Hi,

I have a hdmi output on an nvidia gt240 which worked great. At some point an AC3 encoder has kicked in. I realize it's a wanted feature, and I understand why. I was wondering how to turn it off?

I want to send dolby as dolby, dts as dts, and anything else as decoded multichannel (or stereo where appropriate) LPCM.

At the moment if i have dolby set as passthrough everything gets transcoded. it makes flac a bit of a waste

here's a log playing my cars bluray rip with 5.1 AAC audio (i made it from the LPCM tack) it plays on my receiver as DD5.1 - http://pastebin.org/199823

i think the main bit is:

Code:

21:40:24 T:2376 M:1280327680   DEBUG: CDVDAudioCodecPassthroughFFmpeg::SetupEncoder - Setting up encoder for on the fly transcode

Thanks,

Neil


Edit - I made a trac ticket (hope that's ok?)

I'm with you on that one mate, there's been no WASAPI support for some time - all my FLAC movie tracks come out DD

Sure I read somewhere that turning off DD Audio in Audio set-up would force MultiChannel playback (not sure about WASAPI), but then you would lose DD bitstream - swings and roundabouts I guess.

it certainly does, and that's how I have it at the moment. not ideal, but the better of the two.

I'm sure it'll be switchable sometime in the future.
