Just tried the new TestFlight build and the Center channel dialog seems to be coming more towards the left channel still.
I can hear the difference by playing a DD5.1 file while toggling enable passthrough in the audio settings.
I downloaded a DTS test file and then right channel sounds a bit different than left - like maybe higher pitch. Also the rear right doesn't produce any sound while the rear left does. Center channel still seems to lean towards the left.
File I also used to test is here.

Re: Transcoding Surround speaker issue in 2.2.0
Latest build May 31 still does not solve issue. Seems like no improvement since last build.

Try changing it to 'Best Quality'.
I see what it is doing. have made a change and will push up a new testflight today. The change is risky. On the ATV4, there is a API call to get maximumOutputNumberOfChannels. There is no API to get the ATV4 audio setting but it can be inferred by maximumOutputNumberOfChannels
1) maximumOutputNumberOfChannels = 2 -> audio set to 2 channel
2) maximumOutputNumberOfChannels = 6 -> audio set to DD 5.1
3) maximumOutputNumberOfChannels = 8 -> audio set to best quality
When 2), the audio channel mapping is changed to DD mapping.

Re: Transcoding Surround speaker issue in 2.2.0
so then is it advised that users who have devices that can only take DD 5.1 (not multi channel PCM) still put their ATV setting to best quality and use the transcoding function built into MrMC?davilla wrote:1 dollar says you have atv4 audio set to "DD 5.1"brians wrote:Latest build May 31 still does not solve issue.

If so I don't see how that's viable. That would mean that audio from any other program wouldn't work for them.

no one said that
There are about a billion different ways to handle all the various configurations. Trying to understand the common setups and get them right.

Re: Transcoding Surround speaker issue in 2.2.0
Changing to Best Quality did not make a difference.
Will wait for next testflight.

Testing this morning before I went to work seems like it may be fixed now. I will do some more tests and report back.davilla wrote:new testflight is out.
