Automatically detect number of available audio channels
Hi,
I'm using mpc hc + lav splitter and ffdshow or lav audio decoder (I can easily switch them). PC has two audio outputs: 1) stereo speakers for daily activities; 2) yamaha receiver + beam projector for home cinema (5.1) via hdmi cable I can switch audio output using built-in Windows 7 audio dialog (changing default playback device) The problem I'm facing is that player/LAV doesn't detect currently selected playback device and number of available channels. So that when I'm playing some 5.1 content on stereo speakers, the center channel is muted. I can of couse go to LAV audio decoder -> Mixing -> Enable mixing + stereo, this way I can hear sound properly on stereo speakers, but then I need to uncheck "enable mixing" every time I switch to 5.1 setup and it's cumbersome. So, is there a way to tell player/LAV/ffdshow "hey man, look at the system settings and find out how many audio channels are available, then use this knowledge to automix"? |

@huhn
As I've written, I'm currently using LAV audio decoder, but previously I've tried ffdshow aduio as well (and the same problem). @clsid Yeah I've done that (Moreover, I've configured yamaha receiver to be 5.1 (in the same way via control panel)). The problem is that player + LAV still tries to output 5.1 content on these stereo speakers, effectively dropping center channel out. |
