Code:D(Audio: dts (DTS-HD MA) ([134][0][0][0] / 0x0086), 48000 Hz, 5.1(side), s32p (24 bit))
While others show this:
Code:D(Audio: dts (DTS-HD MA) ([134][0][0][0] / 0x0086), 48000 Hz, 5.1(side), s16p)
As you can see both are DTS-HD MA 5.1 tracks, but one seems to be decoded differently than the other. Am I still listening to the DTS-HD track in the second case or is that the DTS core track playing?
Pretty sure that just means the first track was sourced from a 24 bit master, and the second from a 16 bit master. Most audio is mixed in the 24 bit domain these days, but lower budget or older productions may well be 16 bit.
