Dolby Digital 5.1 Setup
Dolby Digital 5.1 Decoder
The Dolby vs. DTS 5.1 surround sound argument is a hotly debated issue that’s been at the forefront of many audiophile discussions. Some people are of the opinion that DTS Digital Surround is better in terms of sound quality than the Dolby Digital is.
Why is there a 5.1/7.1 Dolby Digital test on YouTube when for a standard setup is 2-Channel stereo?
YouTube has test videos like THIS one for testing your surround. My setup is as follows:
HTPC running Windows 7 with S/PDIF out for sound and HDMI for video directly to my TV
Pioneer Eliete AV receiver to process my sound.
Kodi (XBMC) to handle my local media
When I play my media I have it all set to code it to Dolby Digital this includes upmixing 2 channel stereo. But unless I am running it via Kodi I get all Stereo. Even when running Netflix. It is my understanding that Netflix cannot run 5.1 audio it claims to have when using your browser because Silverlight does not support it. So I assume it will be the same when streaming any video through a browser like YouTube, the videos cannot play it in true Dolby Digital, only Stereo.
Is there something I am missing, is it possible to have play the YouTube video I linked in Dolby Digital?
