Description of Issue

I’m having issues with multitchannel playback.

I can’t seem to get it right. I’ve been reading many threads that last 3 days and still can’t seem to solve my problem.

My Oppo is HDMI connected to my Denon using ethernet from my NUC. When I access my library (NAS) from the Oppo directly I get 5.1 perfectly with my DSF files. When I try using Roon I get the front working but NOT folddowns. They’re discrete. I get nothing from the rears. I’ve tried settings on the Denon (Direct / Pure Direct / Auto). Same result, The Mch display on the Denon shows L-R-C.

I know this is a setting somewhere yet I can’t figure it out. The mulitchannel selection in the ASIO setting shows 2.0 and is greyed out. The display when playing shows 5.1 > 2.0 yet I have all settings set to “Channel Mapping”

Device Setup 2.0 is default.

The Oppo is certified in Roon only for two channels.

This does not work if the Oppo is connected to roon via ethernet. You would need to connect the Oppo via HDMI or USB to stream multi-channel content.

Can’t get multi channel to play as multi channel

I’ve selected channel mapping in the devise setup but it still downmixes to 2.0 here are the screen shots [image] [image]

Thanks. Now I understand why I was having an issue. That’s one thread I didn’t see.
