PCM bass?

[Dicmatic]

I've got my receiver auto calibrated and when I listen to DTS or Dolby the bass is nice and loud. When I listen to pcm or uncompressed the sub is really low and when It bitstreams Dolby truehd over pcm it's the same thing. Little to no bass. Is there a setting I need to change or something or am I just gonna have to get a receiver that supports Truehd and dtshd?

Go into your receiver settings. Some receivers have a double bass option that might need to be turned on. Almost all receivers have an area in the setup where you can adjust the levels of each speaker. Go in and bump up your sub a bit. Also, don't be afraid to turn up the volume on the sub itself until it reaches your needs.

what have you got, and how is it hooked up
some players needed upgrades to fix bass / LFE issues
ie: panasonic

I found that Decoding TrueHD and Master Audio internally will require you to increase levels on your receiver to make them as loud and harder hitting as Dolby Digital and DTS internal decoding. If adjusting levels becomes annoying for you , internal decoding at your AV Receiver will solve that issue. It will cost you though as you will need a player that outputs bitstream and an AV Receiver that decodes TrueHD and DTS-HD.
