DD+ playback missing center channel

GibsonLP · December 19, 2019 at 1:59 PM

Hi all.

Playing DD+ files results in missing center channel.

My only way to work around this is to turn on AC3 transcoding but this is causing other issues and sometimes audio does not work at all unless I bring back the non transcoding configuration (besides the fact that it's pretty much a bummer to transcode DTS to lower bitrate AC3...)

Any ideas on a good solution? (I am find with always transcoding DD+ but I don't want to transcode anything else).

NUC6CAY running 9.2.0 vanilla connected via hdmi to Marantz 7013.

Thanks!

Your previous thread: what-s-the-story-with-nucs-and-hd-audio

That was almost a year ago. Did you ever resolve the previous issues ?

If you search the LE Forum for others with a NUC6CAY, you will find other threads but none with your exact problems.

Thanks.

Not really, I do have audio dropouts with HD audio, reverting to legacy audio (regular DTS) "solves" it.

I admit that I simply don't have a lot of time to fiddle with this (or watch too many movies/TV shows outside Netflix).

I am wondering if there is a LE friendly unit that "just works"...

I have a much older Intel NUC (2013) that's been almost perfect since I first got it.
