Never had any audio glitches with any BD after that, though I haven't used that specific player in the years that have passed since I upgraded to 4K.

The BD Audio Mix setting...is that BD secondary audio ? That's what it's called on my player. On that setting, PCM only sends stereo sound with left front, right front speakers and the subwoofer. During the opening scene of Jurassic Park, when the men are shooting their guns, on the PCM setting and BD secondary audio set to on, the gunshots are just left and right. I turned BD secondary audio off and the receiver then said Multi In and the effects were in the right place.

Using PCM, I COULD hear the way too soft dialogue from the beginning of Halloween...but again, with PCM and the BD secondary audio on, it was only stereo. Later tonight, I'll try PCM with BD secondary audio off and see what happens.
