I play video files from a pc, through a receiver, to my television. The interface, in all cases is hdmi. The receiver is putting out PLII C (Denon 788). I have a 5.1 speaker system. The problem is that I occasionally come across a video in which the voice audio is almost non-existant. I have been doing a lot of readying on this one. There are a lot of somewhat complicated fixes for this. I have found, however, that if I tell XBMC to downconvert audio to stereo, the problem goes away (I also choose to send stereo to all speakers and it does exactly that). I have also noticed that sometimes I have analog audio and, sometimes, digital (another mystery although XBMC let me know I have a problem so its easily fixed).
I guess I should also mention that the Zoom player does not have this problem.
Thoughts?
