Upmix to 2.1 - With solution

[SurfRat]

Hi,

I have a 5.1 channel audio setup. I wish to use MB to play using a 2.1 speaker config to keep the correct stereo mix. If I turn off the upmix setting then I have no output from my sub.

From my previous query I know you use the matrix method to do the up mixing in the Bass audio library.

I have played around with <PlayerUpmixChannelCount>6</PlayerUpmixChannelCount> in the settings but I unfortunately cannot get 2.1 (L + R + S).

For reference this is what I get:

0: L + R
1: L + R
2: L + R
3: L + R + C + S
4: L + R + S + RL + RL
5: L + R + C + S + RL + RL + S
6: L + R + C + S + RL + RL + S
7: L + R + C + S + RL + RL + S
8: L + R + C + S + RL + RL + S

Unfortunately L + R + S is missing.

I had another look at the matrix ref
http://www.bass.radio42.com/help/html/f2833fcb-c9c7-7ce3-9470-39b6f2a110d0.htm
but it uses a matrix to set the outputs and not a single number.

Can you please consider adding 2.1 or give me another solution I can try.

Thanks

Mark.

Hi,

Found a solution using FlexASIO which does not run in exclusive mode. This gives me 2.1 in MusicBee.

Config:
Out 0 - LF
Out 1 - RF
Out 2 - None
Out 3 - LFE
Out 4 - None
Out 5 - None

Found an even simpler solution:

On my Marantz AV receiver, set front L and R speakers to small. Redirects stereo to 2.1 including sub.

Works for Spotify to.
