[mythtv-users] Dolby Digital Signal indicator on Receiver

[Darryl Hirschler]

Just a guess, but is it possible Myth is down-grading the audio to
2-channel Dolby Pro Logic?  That's a sort of pseudo-surround and might
be enough to fool you into thinking that you are getting true surround.
Check and make sure each of your back speakers are independent of each
other and not playing the same sound.

Subject: [mythtv-users] Dolby Digital Signal indicator on Receiver

 

Hi everyone, I have a Denon AVR-2700.  Right now my mythfrontend is
hooked up via the optical connection from my Turtle Beach Riviera.  I
get sound for my recordings, mythvideo, and mythdvd all through the
SPDIF including 5.1 apparently, and I get sound from my receiver just
fine.  

Whats interesing is now that I am getting 5.1 to my surround sound
system I see the Dolby "Pro Logic" indicator light up, I see the
"DIGITAL" indicator light up and the "LOCK" green indicator light up,
but I don't actually see the "Dolby Digital" red indicator light up.

Now when the THX intro plays on movies from my mythfrontend, I here the
sound moving through the speakers like I normally would when playing
from a regular DVD player outputting Dolby Digital 5.1, with the
exception that the "Dolby Digital" red indicator lights up when the 5.1
comes from a regular DVD player, but not when it comes from the
mythfrontend.

So, Dolby Digital appears to by working fine from my mythfrontend, I am
just curious if anyone can explain why my "Dolby Digital" indicator
might not light up even though I am hearing the 5.1 audio through my
surround sound system.
