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?
Hi EKRBoi,
Software decoding of DTS-HD is not possible, only passthrough via hdmi. Only DTS core track will be decoded.
TrueHD software decoding work, just like you mentioned.
