And I didn't find anything on their site to indicate that as a problem nor anything about seeking out the missing pieces.
#Dts+ac3 filter install
In fact if you only install the drivers available on Zotac's web site you will not have audio over HDMI at all. I already briefly alluded to the hassle of getting HDMI audio on this system at all. We're in agreement, which is why the extenders are such a huge deal in removing any such headaches. But again, everything I've read about AC3Filter say it overrides all that information - otherwise it would not be possible to use SPDIF over toslink for DTS for anyone either. There are a few other things listed there too, but unfortunately I can't remember what they are right now and at the moment, connecting to that system with Remote Desktop disables the audio devices and control panel details so I can't see them.


I don't know if it's something the audio device is adding or if it's something the DVDO Edge is adding.
#Dts+ac3 filter driver
However, the EDID being reported back to the audio driver does in fact get picked up as supporting DTS as well as AC3 - this can be seen in the details of the HDMI Audio device in Windows.
#Dts+ac3 filter tv
Yes, the TV can decode AC3 and it can't decode DTS. The TV's abilities to decode audio aren't affecting the current setup as far as I can tell. It's a real shame that Sage wasn't more widely known/publicized as the server-extender model was a great setup and only about to get better with Sage's unreleased stand-alone PVR box.
#Dts+ac3 filter software
Definitely why desktop-based DVR software and clients have never really caught on. This makes setup a very hand-on intensive building process, rather than a consumer approach that the extenders allow.

IMO, the client software is simply not feature complete having to rely on so much external software and variables. It's a pity there isn't better audio integration right within the SageTV UI. Jorton - I'll definitely take a look at this later today. AC3Filter is absolutely needed for this, as SageTV without it eithr produces no audio at all or is limited to what the system provides, 2 channel. Since the DVDO passes EDID from the TV to the source device (client PC) it sees only 2 channel.īut I can confirm that multi-channel works fine because AC3 is passing through correctly. Processor connected to TV via HDMI for video ONLY and to Audio Pre-Amp/Processor via Optical for audio.
#Dts+ac3 filter windows
Windows reports that I can only output 2 channels, but that's because of the way my equipment is connected:Ĭlient connected via HDMI to DVDO Edge video processor. I'd really like to get this system rock-solid and this seems to be the last missing piece (for now anyway)įuzzy - Sage/AC3Filter don't care about the HDMI EDID reporting available audio modes. I don't think I found anyone that had only DTS passthrough not working.Īny help greatly appreciated. I've searched the forum and found a number of very old threads, none of which seem to have helped here in this situation. After system restart I can see (hear) the new settings. Example, if I have passthrough working, then I turn off AC3Filter or set it to down convert, restarting SageTV continues to pass through AC3. Restarting SageTV alone doesn't seem to work. Also, changes to AC3Filter seem to require a system restart to take effect. Using the AC3Filter configuration panel it's impossible to see if it's working, even when not using passthrough an forcing down-conversion and re-encode, I can't see any action in the input and output meters. The external audio/video hardware is known to be configured correctly as everything works fine using either HD200 or HD300 Extenders. There are no other optional audio nor video decoders installed on this system.

AAC seems to decode and go through as PCM correctly. Set up for SPDIF with all passthrough options set. Running AC3Filter 2.5 (latest) lite version. EVR renderer, Microsoft decoders, audio rendered Realtek/ATI/AMD HDMI, decoder AC3Filter. System: Zotac Zbox Nano AD10 with AMD E-350 using integrated Radeon HD 6300 HDMI graphics/audio.Īll drivers should be properly installed, including the addition of the Realtek ATI HD Audio driver which makes the HDMI audio work - HDMI audio doesn't work without this.įull SageTV 7.1.9 running in client mode.
