Then setup the AVR to the appropiate number of speakers, so the AVR handles the mixing stuff.
I have only 2.1 cause no room for 5.1.
1) Is there a difference between kodi channels set to 2.0 & 2.1? my anthem avr just says 2.0 PCM but i'm guessing there is no display for 2.1 PCM.
(when set to 5.1 or 7/1 the avr displays multi pcm 3/2 - 3/4 correctly)
2) what happends to the LFE in dts/dts-hd in pcm ? so when set to 2.0/2.1 does kodi downmix 7.1 to 2 channel stereo & the avr just send the crossover to sub ? problem as in crossover for lfe is higher then normal (and lfe is 10db difference?) ..
3) when speakers set to 7.1 & you play a 5.1 source the avr thinks it's still getting multi pcm 3/4 why doesn't this auto change to what source is, or doesn't this matter ?
