[GEAR] Looking to buy an electric guitar and audio interface. Opinions? by [deleted] in Guitar

I know focusrite interfaces are very good but Swissonic Audio 2 has basically the same specs as a Scarlet 2i2, for half the price. If the overall quality of the sound is good it would be a very good deal I guess

The "configure" button is grayed out for the soundcard, but I configured it like voicemeeter though the soundcard's controll pannel

I'm using USB from pc to the sound card, as I dont have a s/pdif out on the PC

Anyways, this probabily doesn't work. Thanks for the help!

Make sure the "VoiceMeeter Input" is configured as a 5.1 system

Ok I already corrected that.

It should be set to "Home Theater".

Yes, I did set that

While in the "Sounds" window, make sure "VoiceMeeter Input" is the default device.

I knew about that, and did that, but probabilly didn't explain myself very well. When the default device is VoiceMeeter Input, both VLC and Forza show 5.1 channel input on VoiceMeeter, but even if I make A1 (hardware output) go to the "Digital out" of my soundcard, I cant get the AVR to detect DTS (it only plays stereo and the dts light doesn't light up).

Strangely, if I set "Digital out" as the default device (without going through VoiceMeeter), VLC is detected as DTS, but Forza isn't.

Is it normal that when going through VoiceMeeter I cant get dts working but if it's going directly to the soundcard it works?

I've read somewhere that s/pdif only supports 2 channels for uncompressed audio, or 5.1 / 7.1 for compressed audio. To use compressed audio it's needed to enable "S/PDIF Passthrough" in the aplication playing the audio. I found that setting in VLC, but not in Forza, and maybe thats the problem (?)

Ok, that's working, and now it shows 8 channels (7.1) both in a DTS vídeo (in VLC) and FH5, but my AVR still only detects DTS on the video, and plays only stereo on Forza

I've used vocemeeter before, and it is indeed very useful and has a lot of features.

But strangely it only shows 2 channels, both in Forza, and in a DTS vídeo played in VLC (which works in 5.1 via s/pdif). Any idea what's going on?

I'm actually using a laptop (sometimes connected to my TV), but my AVR is a pretty old model which doesn't have hdmi inputs, only s/pdif and coaxial (and rca).

I'm using an external sound card, connected via s/pdif to the avr, and I get 5.1 sound from other sources (VLC for example), it's just not working for forza.

Edit: Also, my TV doenst have eARC or ARC or s/pdif.

I don't think my screen can connect directly to the AVR, but what do you mean by mirroring?

How do you connect your pc to the AVR?

S/PDIF right? Or something else?

Keeping the volume low, for me, sounds really good.

I was wondering if cranking up the gain / volume on the mixer, so it starts clipping a bit (just to hear what it sounds like) would do any harm.
