Some TrueHD 7.1 tracks have no sound in XBMC
Posted: Thu Nov 19, 2015 10:35 pm
I have a couple of Blu-ray Discs that I've recently ripped and the TrueHD 7.1 track produces no sound when selected in the XBMC player. I have XBMC set to pass these through to an Integra 7.1 receiver.
I thought at first it might just be that the Integra couldn't decode that format. But I have Star Trek Into Darkness that also has TrueHD 7.1 and it plays fine both in XBMC and from the actual disc.
One thing is that both the movies that have these tracks that won't play - Mad Max Fury Road and San Andreas - were Redbox rentals. I'm not sure if that makes a difference. I've ripped other 7.1 formats from redbox rentals that work okay I think.
If anyone has any ideas on this I'd love to hear them.
