Note: This changes the signal to 2. Your setup is the way it is supposed to be. You must log in or register to reply here. The over-head audio metadata is only carried in the raw audio stream via passthrough.
PCM can only deliver up to 7. Which is better Dolby Digital or Dolby Surround? Is Dolby Digital same as Dolby Atmos? Does THX make a difference? Dune , at Last. The Silence of the Lambs. Monoprice SB 5. Almost Famous. Zack Snyder's Justice League. Klipsch Cinema Soundbar System Review. New Gear for Fall News and Gear for Fall I believe THX is often slightly cleaner in sound but Dolby is more immersive, but is mostly used for 5. At least in a home environment.
But you could get a amp that has em all. Then you able the change how the amp codes and changes the sound coming from source. However, there are one or two integrated AV receivers that have channels of amplification. If you have one of these, you will be able to upmix any DTS soundtrack across your complete speaker system. The aim of DTS Virtual:X is to give you the 3D experience of an object-based soundtrack — but without you having to install any height speakers.
So, 2. Stereo or surround. Dolby prevents this in their licensing agreement. But it can be effective in giving an extra sense of space. Some AV receiver models often the more expensive ones! THX certification means that a product meets certain standards defined by THX , which aims to set the highest standards for home theater video and audio equipment.
While we should never assume that a product without THX certification must be of poor quality, we should be confident of a high-quality product where we find this mark of approval. The three listening modes — Cinema, Games and Music — are similar to Pro Logic in that they can play any type of source material and match it to the speaker setup you have in your room.
The difference with the THX listening modes is they also add equalization to the audio to tailor the original soundtrack mix to suit a home environment. The theory is that movie soundtracks are mixed to sound good at high volumes in movie theaters but will sound different at lower volumes in regular rooms.
Therefore, these modes are designed to alter the frequency response of the sound you hear and allow for the differences between an actual movie theater and your room. If you have these listening modes on your equipment, you may find that you can improve the sound in your room by activating these settings. Give it a try and see what you think. The aim is to provide the best image and audio quality currently available through a combination of new content and certified hardware.
While not precisely a surround sound format as such, I thought it would be helpful to mention it here as you may well come across it as an audio format and wonder what it is. Image content is optimized for large 4K HDR displays with a new mastering process so that you get an exceptionally bright and colorful image.
The audio is mixed with a special version of DTS:X, designed for surround sound systems with elevation or height speakers. Having said that, the algorithm will adapt to systems with different speaker layouts than those mentioned. So you will be able to use it regardless of your speaker layout. While AV receivers and processors are also starting to appear with the technology built-in. As for the content, you should see more appearing as time goes on.
Plus, the technology can be streamed, so keep a lookout at a streaming service near you! However, each manufacturer will often provide additional DSP Digital Signal Processing listening modes for you to choose from. These different versions will provide other processing options to alter the sound that you hear through your system. Follow the link if you want to learn a little more about listening modes in AV receivers. As you can see, the surround sound formats and listening modes that AV receivers have can seem quite complex.
However, the idea is to give you the flexibility to tweak the audio you hear to suit your room and hardware setup. There is no way a movie can be made to sound the same in all types of room — and with different speaker configurations.
