Hello,
I am trying to crack the behavior of the 'signal path' towards a 5.1 'experience' with my PC.
My set up:
> 1xPC, Win10,
> EQ APO is installed on the PC and used for base management and roon EQ
> An external sound card Asus U5, that serves as a 5 1 DAC and outputs the signal to active power amp and sub.
I am streaming my music and my movies via the PC, so no other components (streamers, turntables, etc)
Now,
A. When checking an 'exclusive' output in e.g Tidal, I get the correct 5 1 outputs (bypassing EQApo of course)
B. also I get it right when streaming https://www2.iis.fraunhofer.de/AAC/multichannel.html via.Edge, Chrome, Firefox (tried them all....)
C. When runing the test signals in the sound configuration tab, it also works fine.
Nevertheless, when trying to stream e.g Tidal non exclusive, or one of YouTube's 5.1 test videos. I get only L+R signals (2channels), while EQAPO's inputCannelCount sees it as 6 (I tried that in both pre mix or post mix stages), leaving me puzzled where are the missing signals.
I checked this in EQ APO forums, but no clear observation nor remedy there.
I hope that someone in our community was able to identify the source of this behavior and hopefull find a solution...
