System;
LG OLED C7p TV (HDMI 2.0), GTX 1080 ti computer video card (2.0), Integra DHC 80.3 pre/pro(HDMI 1.4)
Software;
5.1 audio files in their native format (LPCM, DTS, DD) played with the VLC Media Player
5.1 audio files copied and converted to flac played with Media Monkey player.
Problem;
I use the Integra as an AV hub for my computer, DirectTV and Blu Ray Player. I went 4K for PC gaming and Netflix and amazon 4K streaming. I am looking for a solution to have 4k video and 5.1 surround sound in its native format. Should be simple. Right?
Things I have tried and failed;
1. HDMI from video card to Integra input with HDMI from Integra output to TV. 1080p video and all 5.1 files played in their native format.
2. HDMI from Video card to TV with HDMI arc or optical out from TV to Integra input. 4k but TV converts files to DD and there are lip sync issues.
3. HDMI from video card to TV with digital audio out from Computer mother board to Integra. 4k but only stereo.
4. HDMI from video card to TV with Digital audio out from ASUS XONAR Essence STX audio card to Integra. 4k but the only way to get sound is to use the audio card driver app which converts audio to dolby digital live. DD Live does play back 5.1 files but it highly compressed.
5.. HDMI from video card to TV and 2nd HDMI out from video card to Integra. I wish. Only one HDMI output.
6 HDMI from video card to Jtech audio Extractor, with HDMI from Jtech to TV and Optical audio out from Jtech to Integra. Did not work because Windows would not recognize the Integra as a play back device. The HDMI to the TV was recognized as the Play back device. Windows. sounds, play back devices.
7. HDMI to HDMI splitter with HDMI to TV and HDMI to Integra. 1080p video and audio sources played back in their native format. I read all the reviews of the 4K HDMI splitters on Amazon and none of them could send a 4k signal if one of the inputs was HDMI 1.4.
The solution that will work is to purchase a new Pre/pro, but don't want to do that. It would be sweet if there was someone who could replace HDMI 1.4 inputs with 2.0b.
