Objective: Understanding how to confirm DTS-HD MA as output, when receiver doesn’t show.
Hi all
I have always been streaming DTS core from my samsung TV to my LG 9.1 setup (model BH9530TW), [LINK: http://www.lg.com/au/home-theatre-systems/lg-BH9530TW] which gives an incredible immerstive surround sound experience.
However, when playing blu-ray movies the sound has just always been another level, as the system can play DTS-HD MA etc. (lossless formats), so the other day I downloaded Kodi to try streaming the DTS-HD MA formats to the system. LG has confirmed that streaming this format to the device is possible (I asked in an email). However the device shows the same (D3-2.1) whatever it receives DTS core or HD-MA.
As with the Blu-rays, streaming from the PC via HDMI is just another level of sound, in particular the allocation of sound is much much better. Now, I suspect some of the reason being that my PC (Zenbook UX303LN) [LINK: https://www.asus.com/Notebooks/ASUS-ZenB...fications/] together with Kodi allocates the sound significantly better than my Samsung TV because I guess the allocation should not change, right? I think Samsung might be cutting some corners to make it work.
Anyhow, my question is the following: Since my receiver does not let me know if it receives DTS core or DTS-HD-MA, is there a way to check the output stream rate through Kodi? Kodi does display the DTS-HD-MA icon, but it also does that when I play it on my PC so that is not of much use.
Another problem that I have as well is that when I set my Sound properties in Windows 10 to 24bit, 96000HZ then Kodi does not output sound (but VLC does). However when I use 24bit and 48000HZ Kodi works fine. I tried to change the Kodi audio setting to “fixed” but it doesn’t change anything. Anyways, that was just a side track question.
If you guys can help me with the output identification part I would be greatly thankful.
Kind Regards,
Peter
