No Voice in PCM

[jimbrowsky]

Hi. I am new to muxing.

I have an LG TV and its media player does not recognize a number of codecs (e.g. DTS HD or TrueHD). It does recognize PCM, FLAC, and AC3. I would like to stick to using the LG player rather than using something like Plex as it will be easier for the family to use. I prefer lossless audio.

If I use Xmedia to transcode DTS HD or TrueHD audio to PCM or FLAC I cannot hear voices (guessing that is the center channel) 9/10 times. If I transcode to an AC3 file, everything sounds fine, but I want lossless audio.

Is there something dumb I am doing or something someone could please recommend I try? Thank you.

You could try MakeMKV's on-the-fly audio conversion to FLAC. https://forum.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=4776
