I have some DTS flac files. I can stream these via my SB2 to a surround sound amp, and it sounds superb.
However, two things I'm not particularly keen about are: 1) I only hear white noise through the analog outputs. 2) I have the Small VU displayed on the Now Playing screen - this doesn't represent the surround sound being played; I guess it represents the white noise that I'm hearing through the analog outputs. If I am playing random music through my HiFi, and SlimServer choses a surround sound file, it really doesn't sound good (could this damage speakers?). I appreciate that it might not be possible to downmix multi-channel data to stereo, but is it possible to simply turn off the other outputs when a multi-channel source is playing? At the moment, I am hoping to avoid the Random Mix problem by tagging all of my DTS surround sound files with an additional GENRE="DTS" tag, and then ensuring this is not ticked in the "genres to include in your mix". I'm not sure though whether this will work though - if I have a track with Rock and DTS genres, and Rock is included but DTS is not included, could the track be selected in a random mix?
