I posted in the main AE thread til I realized its been dead since July.. so Im pasting this here in hopes of a reply.
Hope this is in the right place. my apologies if it is not. Went and installed Frodo Alpha 6 after reading about all the awesome new AudioEngine features. Maybe I interpreted wrong but isn't it suppose to be able to decode DTS-HD MA 7.1 to the 7.1 analog channels on my sound card which are hooked up to my receiver (not through HDMI or optical.. good ol' analog)? I have been recoding my MA tracks to FLAC 7.1 for the longest time.. while this works it takes extra time obviously. I tried it today and while xbmc shows TrueHD content as 7.1 and outputs as such, but it is reporting DTS-HD MA still as 5.1 when I KNOW the 7.1 track is there. Am I doing something wrong or am I still going to have to re encode my stuff to flac to play it this way?
