Windows PC multichannel over HDMI

Hello,

I’m having trouble getting multichannel FLAC and DSF/DFF audio to work in ROON. My setup is as follows.

Intel NUC with roon core=>Marantz AV10pre/pro=>amp.

After a hard reset and power on sequence my setup will play multi channel but if I change formats e.g. 5.1 to stereo roon seems to lock up and refuses to output anything. Sometimes when I switch from stereo to 5.1 roon will play but map the channels incorrectly.

Hello @Joachim_Roselio1 ,

Thanks for reaching out with your message. I’ve enabled diagnostics for your account and what this action does is upload a set of logs to our servers for review. Looking over this log, it looks like you are playing to JRiver zone from Roon when this issue occurs. Can you please confirm, if you play directly to your HDMI zone, is the issue still reproducible? Or does it only occur when JRiver is involved?

Please keep in mind that native DSD (stereo or multichannel) over HDMI is not possible with any PC like hardware. For DSD you then have to set DSD to PCM conversion in roon.
