[QUOTE="Snoopy87, post: 1209469, member: 128461"] I know that some people want to upmix the stereo signal to 5.1. For example some users don't have an AVR. They use active speakers with their sound card. So it's ok, if someone want to upmix the stereo signal to 5.1 on his PC. But this shouldn't be the only option. Because there are some users who really like to hear stereo as stereo. By the way: I also want to upmix stereo to 5.1 BUT of course with my AVR, because it is at least 1000times better than LAV, MPAR or whatever can do! Why? You have Dolby ProLogic II, DTS Neo:6, you have very, very great DSP programs by Yamaha, you have a great speaker calibration by microphone (YPAO), etc. At the moment the PCM 2.0 signal is not upmixed to 5.1. The issue is, that the 2.0 signal is packed in a 5.1 signal. That means: Front Left: Left signal of stereo Front Right: Right signal of stereo Center: Empty Rear Left: Empty Rear Right: Empty Subwoofer: Empty So the AVR is unable to play bass and unable to create a surround effect, because it already get a 5.1 signal which will be untouched and routed to the specific speakers. Which of course is correct handling of the AVR. So I want to send PCM 2.0 as PCM 2.0, because then my AVR is able to upmix (if I want, if not want I disable it, also I have programs like "Straight" and "Pure Direct" which play the signal 100% original and completly untouched!), is able to play bass and is able to route dialogs to the center speaker, while everything else is routed to the left and right front speakers. That's the reason why you use an AVR and every AVR user want this and it is very typically that HTPC users who want to watch movies, having a little "home cinema", attaching importance to great audio and video quality, etc. are having an AVR ;-) So what I want is the best and correct playback, which is correct for everyone! And for those 0,01% who want to upmix the stereo signal on their PCs to 5.1, there should be also an option. So 100% of the users would be happy ;-) But at the moment only those 0,01 % are happy :-( [/QUOTE]
