7.1 Surround Sound Effects off of DTS HD Master & Dolby True HD lost?

[crackinhedz]

in the PS3 settings...what do you have checked off as far as frequencies selected? (all 5.1 and 7.1 PCM should be selected)

Settings - Sound Settings - Audio Output Settings






"Direct" setting in the Onkyo is ok as far as settings go. (I like to use THX Select or DDPLIIxCinema...preferences vary)

"Direct
In this mode, audio from the input source is output
directly with minimal processing, providing high-fidelity
reproduction. All of the source’s audio channels are
output as they are."

(SS316SRV, I have never heard of Direct mode "kicking" HDMI out??)



"Neural THX 5.1/7.1
Neural-THX Surround employs psychoacoustic frequency
domain processing, which allows delivery of a
more detailed sound stage, with superior channel separation
and localization of audio elements. The Neural THX
5.1 and Neural THX 7.1 modes can expand any 2-channel
stereo source for 5.1- or 7.1-channel playback"



Ok, this is what im thinking...for some reason, the PS3 is outputting in stereo for some reason, which is why on "Direct" you only heard the Left and Right...and on Neural, the 2 channel was simulated into 5.1-7.1



Id recheck the PS3 settings...
