Weird HD sound issue.

Helly · August 29, 2014

I've been trying to fix the issue myself but it's not working so i need some help.

I recently bought myself a little HTPC. It's an Mini ITX with an AMD A10-7700k. Every video until now has played perfectly as i wanted it to.

However now i'm trying to play a bluray disc (doesn't matter which one), using Total Media Theatre 6 (6.7.1.199 to be precise), and it is refusing to play any kind of HD audio.

True-HD is played as Dolby Digital and DTS-HD is played as DTS.... The weird thing is that its not the hardware, cuz i have several MKV files with DTS-HD and they play perfectly fine as DTS-HD. It's also not the program as i have the same version on my laptop (i7 2630QM, GTX460) and that plays it fine with HD audio. Thinking its AMD now? Nope, my server with AMD 1090T and a 7770 also plays it fine with HD audio. I switched cables multiple times and it doesn't change anything. (cables are 1.3 and 1.4) all the settings are exactly the same on all 3 systems. The audio panel says its supports the HD audio formats but refuses to play them only in media theatre. I also disabled all audio devices other then the one i'm using (obviously) and that didn't change anything either.

So i've run out of idea's... hoping someone here knows whats going on .

ps. in case it matters... all 3 systems were connected to a Marantz 5008.
