[QUOTE="fredco, post: 1290844, member: 108314"] I have a reasonably modern HTPC setup: LG OLED77, Pioneer AV-Receiver SC LX901, 7.1 Klipsch speaker setup and a PC with nice specs with MP 1.30. Everything connected with HDMI. I have lav-filters setup to bitstream EVERY format. If I don't do this, I get a very unimpressive result from all my sources: very low volume, use of only a few speakers. This happens all the time, so also when I feed an Atmos track, or DTS-HD. The sound is very skinny... So, for a long time now I use bitstreaming and that results in a very satisfying sound picture. Everyone is blown away by it, including myself. Although I don't understand exactly why, I've come to live with it. So bitstreaming is the way to go for me. But yesterday I found an annoying thing related to the bitstreaming: I watched a UHD movie with an E-AC3 track. The whole movie I heard little short dropouts in the soundtrack. In total it must have been 50 times. I did some testing and found if I remove the checkmark in lav-filters for bitstreaming E-AC3 the glitches are gone! The sound itself is not rich, but no glitches!
