Hi there Kuroshio -
No - absolutely not. PD imports & plays 6 channel sound properly under most circumstances. I don't think it's a bug. I do think there's something not right about the audio section of that video clip, just be the way it displays in AudioDirector, Audacity & other dedicated audio editors. Premiere Elements won't play the audio at all** but WMM plays it correctly!
No - I used FormatFactory to convert it to a stereo WAV file. If you right click on the video clip in the media library & select "Extract Audio", it retains its 5.1 channel structure & still won't play correctly.
Attached is how the converted stereo file looks in AudioDirector.
BUT - there must be a reason the video clip you posted plays correctly in various media players. I tested it in about half a dozen.
I'm no audio expert, so I'm sure there are forum members who'd be able to offer better advice.
**
Correction: Premiere Elements does play part of the audio (FL & FR channels only), yet it's sound you'd expect to hear from the sub.
Cheers - Tony
