Is PCM audio in the cards?

[luigy39]

New to the Forum, but have been using Make MkV for a while and loving it.

I ran into a problem yesterday with the older Harry Potter films and their 5.1 PCM sound track, I know that this was a problem before. has this been fixed or do I have to use the lower quality soundtrack?

fixed as in ... ?

I rip disks with LPCM all the time. Are you having problems with your player not handling it?

I've also experienced the same problem with these Harry Potter films and with other PCM multichannel movies on my standalone media players (Mede8er MED600X3D); they won't output the hi-res audio track to my AV receiver therefore no sound. With PCM mono soundtracks, there is sound but the movie plays back at twice normal speed (why? God knows...). With MPC-HC, no issues with PCM audio.

I'd suggest converting PCM tracks to FLAC in MakeMKV and seeing if that helps. It's worked very well for me.
