I’m having an issue with multichannel FLAC PCM 5.0 audio on my N2+ through my Sony AVR DN1060. When I play a 5.0 music track I’m getting only playback of FL/FC/FR channels. My RL and RR speakers are silent. A 5.1 music track plays correctly. I think it’s an ALSA channel mapping issue which also occurred in CE 19 and was corrected at the time. Unfortunately, I can’t check back far enough in the posts as the forum software has changed in the meantime and I’ve also changed user name.
5.0 music tracks (with no LFE channel) are common enough on jazz and classical SACD and DVD-A titles, so I have several of them in my library, although I only play them rarely. The error is present in CE 20 also, but I hadn’t noticed it until now!
The attached log shows the issue at timestamp 17:40:15 (5.0 mapping error) and 17:41:35 (5.1 mapped correctly).
