Description

when playing a movie with dts-hd or dts-hd ma the reciever only outputs dts.

when looking in the audio-menu while the movie is playing it says dts-hd ma (or dts-hd depending on what sound the movie has.. obviously), but the reciever only outputs dts. and this wasnt the issue before i upgraded to the latest firmware-update. before that it outputted the right audioformat (i.e dts-hd ma or dts-hd)

i have a onkyo tx-sr606.

i have deleted the movie as ive seen it now (almost never keep movies that ive watched, and especially not movies that are that big as i dont have a lot of hdd-space atm)
and unfortunately i dont have any movies with dts-hd ma now. (havent been downloading them because im fed up by the dts-hd ma audio dropout bug and now this bug)

but ill give you mediainfo as soon as i have a new movie with dts-hd ma sound.

my hardware setup is hdmi-cable from boxee box to receiver (onkyo tx-sr606) and then hdmi-cable from the reciever to my projector (mitsubishi hc1100).
and the speakers i use is ELAC Starlet 5.1 (im pretty sure that is useless to know but i thought i mention it anyway)

the audio output in boxee box is digital (hdmi) with everything but "lpcm 7.1 capable receiver" checked. (as i have a 5.1 system and not 7.1. well the receiver is 7.1 capable but as i have 5.1 speakers i see no use in checking that option in boxee box)

and i havent checked "control volume during playback as i find that useless when i controll volume with my receiver-remote.

i have no idea if this is done right as this is my first time doing a mediainfo-report.

and this is for a movie which is in dts-hd ma but when looking at boxee audio-tab while looking at the movie it reports it as dts 5.1 but the receiver says its dts-hd ma. (so for this one is the other way around)

and its with the update 1.1.2.19225-1918d6e (build date june 6 2011)

sorry about that, missed it :)

the report also state that all of the audio tracks are PCM,
no DTS-HD in this video from the media info log.
