Hi.
I have a 5.1 surround file in CueSheet format (though the file’s name is a .wav). VLC plays it, but not Audirvana; I get white noise in stereo. Anything I can do?
Hello @jpcote,
Can you send me a copy of the “Debug Info”? You can get it in Audirvana Settings>General>Debug Info
Note: By clicking on the Debug Info button, Audirvana automatically copies all its content, all you have to do is paste it in response to this message
Hi Damien,
There you go (down below).
All audio software that I have see the WAV file as a stereo one (therefore playing white noise), and so is Audirvana. None of those apps seems to see and read or use the .cue file. VLC and such video players do.
I am not familiar with this format. It appears to be a WAVE file that is actually encoded, with the decode info in the .cue file?
I wonder how I could de-interleave the 5.1 tracks and/or convert this to PCM (?)… Or is Audirvana supposed to be able to associate —and decode— the .cue file?

Hello @jpcote,
Your file is encoded in DTS, we do not support this lossy format thus VLC have it embedded but they do not pay for it. Playing this kind of DTS 5.1 file need to have the DTS decoder in the program.
Ok thanks.
Can Audirvana play such files straight to my surround decoder via a digital connection (TOSLINK or coax)?
Replying to myself. I tried it, and yes, it does work (to send the DTS encoded audio to the surround decoder through digital coax, using Audirvana as the player). The downside is that upsampling is, then, not possible (for obvious reasons). Is there anyway to easily set Audirvana to perform upsampling (or not to) only under certain conditions? Or a quicker/easier way to do it than getting to the audio interface settings?
This is actually not possible but we are thinking about it for a future update of Audirvana.
