that all said, i'm curious what the progression for the audio tracks is. ideally i think ae should decode HD audio as pcm if bitstreaming isn't available as this wouldn't result in any loss in quality. if this isn't currently how AE handles it maybe it could be changed or at least made an option.
i also noticed (what i assume is) a small bug. if i disable dolby/ac3 capable receiver the truehd option remains accessible. however if i disable the dts capable option this disables the ability to enable dts-hd. my guess is that truehd should also be disabled when dolby is.
No it's the core that is getting decoded to PCM. There is no free decoder for DTS-MA, there is for TrueHD, which it why you are getting what you are.
