================================================================
The new option [Pass-through or PCM] brings back a feature, that was available back in the 5.0.x versions.
It allows transcoding of unsupported multichannel audio to supported multichannel pass-through format.
Just like the default [PCM] option it will transcode to [PCM] all 2.0 input formats, but will transcode unsupported 5.1/7.1 formats.
================================================================
Example #1: Your system supports only DD and DTS Pass-through
DD: [On]
DD+: [Off]
DTS: [On]
Source: 5.1 AAC or 5.1 DD+
Output will be: 5.1 DD
Source: 7.1 TRUEHD or 7.1 DD+
Output will be: 5.1 DD
================================================================
Example #2: Your system supports only DD and DD+ Pass-through
DD: [On]
DD+: [On]
DTS: [Off]
Source: 5.1 AAC or 5.1 DD+ or 5.1 DTS
Output will be: 5.1 DD
Source: 7.1 TRUEHD or 7.1 DTS-HD/MA/HRA
Output will be: 5.1 DD+

Use the option only if you are sure your system (TV/AVR) supports it and after you test it with DDP5.1 Atmos sources.
Important note: [Dolby Digital Plus with Dolby Atmos] is not to be confused with [Dolby TrueHD with Dolby Atmos].

Added: [Source or DD/DD+/DTS] options for [Transcode Output] in Settings/Audio
Added: [Always] option for [Transcode 2.0 to 5.1] in Settings/Audio
Changed: If all three DD/DD+/DTS pass-through options are disabled M7 will honor the [Transcode Output] and [Transcode 2.0 to 5.1] options
====================================
Here is an example how to achieve 5.1 output for any content, provided your system supports all three formats (DD/DD+/DTS):
DD: [On]
DD+: [On]
DTS: [On]
Transcode Output: [Source or DD]
Transcode 2.0 to 5.1: [Always]
Resample Output: [Source]
====================================
What are the new options [Source or DD/DD+/DTS]?
Transcode Output:
- PCM - always transcode to PCM 2.0 (Stereo only)
- DD - always transcode to DD/AC3
- DD+ - always transcode to DD+/EAC3
- DTS - always transcode to DTS
- Source or DD - DD/DD+/DTS is transcoded to the same format, PCM/AAC/MP3/MP2 is transcoded to DD/AC3
- Source or DD+ - DD/DD+/DTS is transcoded to the same format, PCM/AAC/MP3/MP2 is transcoded to DD+/EAC3
- Source or DTS - DD/DD+/DTS is transcoded to the same format, PCM/AAC/MP3/MP2 is transcoded to DTS
Transcode 2.0 to 5.1:
- Off - do not alter the channels
- On - Convert 2.0 to 5.1 only when transcoding (i.e. PCM/AAC/MP3/MP2/OGG/VORBIS/etc.)
- Always - Always convert 2.0 to 5.1, even if it means transcoding DD/DD+/DTS to the [Transcode Output] format
====================================
With the example options mentioned above:
5.1 DD -> pass-through mode (no transcoding)
5.1 DD+ -> pass-through mode (no transcoding)
5.1 DTS -> pass-through mode (no transcoding)
5.1 AAC -> transcoded to DD 5.1 (because we have [Source or DD])
2.0 AAC -> transcoded to DD 5.1 (because we have [Source or DD])
2.0 MP3 -> transcoded to DD 5.1 (because we have [Source or DD])
2.0 DD -> transcoded to DD 5.1 (keeping source format)
2.0 DD+ -> transcoded to DD+ 5.1 (keeping source format)
2.0 DTS -> transcoded to DTS 5.1 (keeping source format)
"Source" means "one of the three supported formats: DD/DD+/DTS"
====================================
Another example if you want your system to output ONLY Dolby Digital 5.1 (AC3), no matter what the input format is:
DD: [On]
DD+: [Off]
DTS: [Off]
Transcode Output: [DD]
Transcode 2.0 to 5.1: [Always]
Resample Output: [Source]
====================================
And another example for BEST PERFORMANCE and MINIMUM TRANSCODING (faster/less CPU) if your system supports all formats and you don't want to change stereo to 5.1 surround:
DD: [On]
DD+: [On]
DTS: [On]
Transcode Output: [DD]
Transcode 2.0 to 5.1: [Off]
Resample Output: [Source]

================================================================
Example #1: Your system supports only DD and DTS Pass-through
DD: [On]
DD+: [Off]
DTS: [On]
Source: 5.1 AAC or 5.1 DD+
Output will be: 5.1 DD
Source: 7.1 TRUEHD or 7.1 DD+
Output will be: 5.1 DD
================================================================
Example #2: Your system supports only DD and DD+ Pass-through
DD: [On]
DD+: [On]
DTS: [Off]
Source: 5.1 AAC or 5.1 DD+ or 5.1 DTS
Output will be: 5.1 DD
Source: 7.1 TRUEHD or 7.1 DTS-HD/MA/HRA

Important note: [Dolby Digital Plus with Dolby Atmos] is not to be confused with [Dolby TrueHD with Dolby Atmos].
The former (DD+ DA) is used by streaming applications, where the later (TrueHD DA) is used in Blu-ray.
====================================

=== 7.0.67 (2024-04-12)
Added: [Resample Output] in Settings/Audio: Source/Device/48000Hz/44100Hz
Added: [Source or DD/DD+/DTS] options for [Transcode Output] in Settings/Audio
Added: [Always] option for [Transcode 2.0 to 5.1] in Settings/Audio
Changed: If all three DD/DD+/DTS pass-through options are disabled M7 will honor the [Transcode Output] and [Transcode 2.0 to 5.1] options
====================================
Here is an example how to achieve 5.1 output for any content, provided your system supports all three formats (DD/DD+/DTS):
DD: [On]
DD+: [On]
DTS: [On]
Transcode Output: [Source or DD]
Transcode 2.0 to 5.1: [Always]
Resample Output: [Source]
====================================
What are the new options [Source or DD/DD+/DTS]?
Transcode Output:
- PCM - always transcode to PCM 2.0 (Stereo only)
- DD - always transcode to DD/AC3
- DD+ - always transcode to DD+/EAC3
- DTS - always transcode to DTS
- Source or DD - DD/DD+/DTS is transcoded to the same format, PCM/AAC/MP3/MP2 is transcoded to DD/AC3
- Source or DD+ - DD/DD+/DTS is transcoded to the same format, PCM/AAC/MP3/MP2 is transcoded to DD+/EAC3
- Source or DTS - DD/DD+/DTS is transcoded to the same format, PCM/AAC/MP3/MP2 is transcoded to DTS
Transcode 2.0 to 5.1:
- Off - do not alter the channels
- On - Convert 2.0 to 5.1 only when transcoding (i.e. PCM/AAC/MP3/MP2/OGG/VORBIS/etc.)
- Always - Always convert 2.0 to 5.1, even if it means transcoding DD/DD+/DTS to the [Transcode Output] format
====================================
With the example options mentioned above:
5.1 DD -> pass-through mode (no transcoding)
5.1 DD+ -> pass-through mode (no transcoding)
5.1 DTS -> pass-through mode (no transcoding)
5.1 AAC -> transcoded to DD 5.1 (because we have [Source or DD])
2.0 AAC -> transcoded to DD 5.1 (because we have [Source or DD])
2.0 MP3 -> transcoded to DD 5.1 (because we have [Source or DD])
2.0 DD -> transcoded to DD 5.1 (keeping source format)
2.0 DD+ -> transcoded to DD+ 5.1 (keeping source format)
2.0 DTS -> transcoded to DTS 5.1 (keeping source format)
"Source" means "one of the three supported formats: DD/DD+/DTS"
====================================
Another example if you want your system to output ONLY Dolby Digital 5.1 (AC3), no matter what the input format is:
DD: [On]
DD+: [Off]
DTS: [Off]
Transcode Output: [DD]
Transcode 2.0 to 5.1: [Always]
Resample Output: [Source]
====================================
And another example for BEST PERFORMANCE and MINIMUM TRANSCODING (faster/less CPU) if your system supports all formats and you don't want to change stereo to 5.1 surround:
DD: [On]
DD+: [On]
DTS: [On]
Transcode Output: [DD]
Transcode 2.0 to 5.1: [Off]
Resample Output: [Source]
====================================
