Windows 10 HDMI - Enable 9.2 channel audio
0
I have a NUC model NUC7CJYH running Windows 10. The NUC is HDMI 2.0a capable which means it can stream up to 32 channels of audio. The NUC is connected to a Pioneer SC-LX57 9.2 channel receiver which is also HDMI 2.0a capable. The PC is connected with a "Premium HDMI" cable with a QR code proofing it's indeed a HDMI 2.0 cable.
However, I don't see an option to specify more than 7.1 channels for the audio device:
How to enable the 9.2-channel audio mode in Windows 10?

Dolby Atmos may be used for that, but your hardware must conform.

@harrymc thank you for looking into this. Will it allow me to stream 9.2 PCM audio or the feature allows streaming only Atmos-encoded content?

The possible channel formats are transferred from the Pioneer to the NUC via ELD ("EDID-like data") embedded in EDID. So the first step should be to look at that and see if it has 9.2, or not. I know how to access this data on Linux, but not on Windows, but maybe somebody else knows...

@dirkt Indeed, Windows sees the receiver as an 8-channel device. I sent a message to Pioneer support for details.

The basic Windows speaker configuration (DirectSound compatible) cannot exceed 7.1 from what I found (KSAUDIO_CHANNEL_CONFIGstruct). Internally, structures go up to 10.1.7.

According to the specifications for your NUC model NUC7CJYH, it only supports up to 7.1 surround sound. Therefore, it is not capable of 9.2 surround sound.

@DanielB HDMI only carries the signal, it can't create 9.2 surround sound. If the built-in sound card doesn't support it, he can't do it.
