5 Channels remixed to 2. Reason is not clear to me. I have two other apps that play multichannel correctly. DSP settings don’t seem to remedy this.

Have you also checked the Device Setup of your ExaSound PPI?

Are there any options to choose on Channel Layout?

[Jeffrey_Robbins]

I would select Event Mode and deselect the Work Around. I also see Downmix as Needed. To ensure 7.1 stays 7.1, it should be Channel Mapping Only. If you are doing 5.1 with 7.1 selected, you may also have to swap rear and surround channels. JCR

This worked for me. The option isn’t visible until you scroll down a bit.
