When playing Pure Audio Blu-ray discs with multi-channel LPCM audio tracks through an A/V receiver that supports HDMI 1.4 (with HDMI 1.4 cables) PowerDVD 14 will only output 2 channels of LPCM. And it does not seem to be downmixed to stereo: the other channels are simply missing.
With PowerDVD 13 on a different PC through s/pdif there was an option to convert LPCM to DTS or Dolby Digital but that option is no longer there in PowerDVD 14, which means I cannot play these discs through HDMI.
So I tried playing some 6 channel LPCM audio tracks using Foobar2000 and it can play all 6 channels perfectly, which seems to prove that it is PowerDVD 14 that is at fault.
I am using the on-chip Intel HD4000 graphics and sound on an Intel i7 processor, installed on an Asus P8H77-M PRO motherboard, running Windows 8.1, connected by HDMI 1.4 through a Yamaha RX-V500D receiver to an LG PH670V television.
Has anyone any idea where I am going wrong?
