Talk:AudioEngine

jjd-uk 6th Feb 2013

I felt the AudioEngine page was getting far too long and complicated so I've divided the information.

This page will be for background information on AudioEngine

I've moved all GUI stuff and configuration information on a new page AudioEngine/HOW-TO: Configure audio

This can be all deleted now to leave the discussion page clean

Have to check if DTS-HD is intended to describe DTS-HD MA in AE simply because of [Linux] DTS-HD Master Audio forum thread it reports disabling DTS-HD passthough style="background: #90ff90; color: black; vertical-align: middle; text-align:center;" class="table-enabled"|Enableds DTS-HD MA, I cant test this becase I dont have HD audio receiver. --uNiversal 12:12, 1 February 2013 (EST)

--jjd-uk 11:46, 4 February 2013 (GMT): note to uNiversal - AE DTS-HD setting covers both DTS-HD & DTS-HD MA.

Yes I know it does but DTS-HD MA is the format 100% supported DDDamina hinted that DTS-HD mileage may vary which to me says something else. But ok the setting in XBMC is not called DTS-HD MA in any case.--uNiversal 05:29, 5 February 2013 (EST)

???? Need to confirm which setting covers Dolby Digital Plus, thinks it's the Dolby Digital (AC3) capable receiver setting but not 100% perhaps need Damian to confirm.

Idk I know format is not style="background: #90ff90; color: black; vertical-align: middle; text-align:center;" class="table-enabled"|Enabledd in AE ATM DD+ that is, but yes Which setting style="background: #90ff90; color: black; vertical-align: middle; text-align:center;" class="table-enabled"|Enableds that will probably (guessing) be AC-3 since DTS 24/96 is probably DTS setting, idk omg what a mess.--uNiversal 05:29, 5 February 2013 (EST) DD+ support is in AE it's just not working for passthrough, AE will decode DD+ using ffmpeg to LPCM
