i know exactly what you mean . it's the pressure of the inner ear noise . i often get pressure of loudness that peaks often high , some most days that is ?
i presently have some mild hissing both side of the inner ears , at around roughly between 6KHz and 8KHz ?

doesn't have to be a movie , music , or sound generator . can be any other sound at high level

once gone or go over certain dB level typically they say thushodl for pain is 130dB . i wouldn't be anywhere near close to that SPL dB anymore , ( to no day ) now 120dB sensurround , " battlestar galatica " gave me this , tinnitus around april 1979 , according to the ( no month ) april . all i heard often at night was hissing noise ?
it can suddenly fade out at any time and fade back in at any time ? once
yes it can disappear at any time says the doctor

not every day,
not at night.

I think it's my jaw pulling on the ear

in short, for the moment no change of speakers. I will adjust my current ones instead.

sorry if i don't understand well sometimes, i'm french and i speak and write english badly

doctor is correct , not that i think many doctors may have it themselves ? but from understanding it from those that do have it . yes , it comes and goes .
may not have it for few weeks and thinking its been cured ? :) then it suddenly comes back again :confused: , i know the feeling

still this would have been all easier had stormaudio not traded off vital inputs for sake of this hdmi . it now , i guess makes it harder , but i'll figure it out
You need a video processor to handle the legacy inputs, like the DVDO iScan Duo. If nothing else it'd be a lot fewer rack units, and IMO the upscaler is pretty nice.

thanks

i think i have dvdo iscan ? a earlier model discontinued hardly used it make try it again and make just be able place it in the rack ?
sort works like a computer with adjusting the image at . . , vertical - diagonal and horroztinal
i sort of found the laserdisc looked i think proportionally better while it was passing out from the Denon 8500H hdmi to the stormaudio input , hdmi 6 ( that's been used ) i should be able to get DVHS D-theatre output from 8500H to storm on same hdmi 6 ? i have try it again , i make missed a step or two ?

figured it out after little over week , as this processor is complicated
sound generator i need to assign the ( outputs as 1 for all - channels ) " group generator "

groupgenerator.jpg


all the channels outputs indicate " green "
yeah , that's more like it okay i can now get down to calibrating alignment the system

AFO remix Dolby Atmos sounds better than the Denon 8500H that is down to limited output channels .
i'm seeing an discrete active channels output when brought up in the mix . the sidewall back surrounds are " pan - a - through " speaker to speaker
use of discrete Lc Rc as AFO was original mixed released as SDDS 8channel , not sure if the Lc Rc are doing same as the SDDS 8ch but sounds wow here in THX

recently listening to stormaudio five screen matrix via dts neural x , which does it extremely well , nicely balanced with fuller sound behind the screen and increase in bass as well
re-testing some movies with stormaudio five screen matrix , even thou can do it discrete Lc Rc on some encoded Dolby Atmos releases
