Hi,
I have read the guide on audio settings. I set my Plex Media Player on my windows machine to decode the audio itself and send PCM to my Yamaha receiver. (By unchecking all the audio codec checkboxes) I am noticing something weird though. I’m playing a file that says the audio stream is 5.1 AC3. However my receiver is getting 2.0 channels as PCM. If I go into PMP and check off the Dolby AC3 checkbox under audio settings the My receiver reports getting 5.1 channels as AC3.
Why Is Plex only sending 2 channels when it decides the audio?
Thanks!
Here are screenshots of the info screen on my receiver. One with Dolby Digital (AC3) checked and one without.
