| Posted: | | | | I have been watching the German bluray of the TV show Eureka. Twice when I have just started an episode I got music (and possibly effects) but no dialog. But there is no separate music track. There are only English, French and German audio tracks. I ejected and reloaded the disc, and then everything is back to normal. So how the frack is it possible that I heard only music? | | | My freeware tools for DVD Profiler users. Gunnar |

So how the frack is it possible that I heard only music? Could it be some downmixing going wrong? I have experienced it before, mostly with Multichannel PCM soundtracks, where the player/receiver sends the channels to the wrong outputs. I have also tried (years ago) that a 5.1 soundtrack were downmixed wrong, so the stereo output had no dialog (ie. the center channel was ignored insted of being mixed to the stereo channels).

| Posted: | | | | Interesting theory, Rander.
It shouldn't be a case of downmixing since it's a 5.1 track and a 5.1 system. But ... if either the player or the amplifier misinterprets it as stereo, then I guess this could be the result.
If it happens again I'll check what the amp thinks it is.
