Re: 1080p MKV file with DTS - no sound

I`m experiencing similar problems with one .mkv file.

Video working perfectly but no sound with WDTV on Stereo output .

Neither on TV (via HDMI) nor Stereo amplifier (analog).

  • WDTV set to Stereo downmix of course -

No problems when playing the file  on VLC.

Seems to be a firmware issue…

Always check first if you have the latest firmware.

Yes. Got the latest firmware…

Strange thing that other A_DTS movies play perfectly.

Can the 6ch encoding cause problems with downmixing to stereo ?
