[QUOTE="Stéphane Lenclud, post: 1209487, member: 140174"] So going back to your first post, it looks like the following is your issue on 5.1 speaker setup: Reading the posts from [USER=82144]@mm1352000[/USER] it seems like both MP1 audio paths are causing you trouble, the music audio path which is using BASS by default, and the TV audio path which is using LAV by default. Therefore I wonder if the issue could be at the Windows driver level, though you mentioned it works from Edge... As a workaround and until some developer takes a closer look at that you could do the following: [LIST] [*]For your music issue you should consider doing the BASS upmix to 5.1. As explained above there is no reason why the result should be worst than with your AVR upmix. Upmixing stereo to 5.1 is no rocket science really, I believe you can even set the low frequency cut off threshold. Then again I'm not sure how this is implemented. [*]For your TV issue you could also do some upmixing using [URL='http://www.ac3filter.net']AC3Filter[/URL] which probably offers more settings and fine tuning options than you would want. [/LIST] Note that those solutions will still let you benefit from your AVR/Speakers setup calibration even though upmixing is done by the PC. However I do understand your point and frustration. With your setup you should be able to delegate all upmixing tasks to your AVR. [/QUOTE]
