Link, RF, and DTS%. What do these audio settings do on the Mi Box?

by Bodycount9

Anyone have the breakdown on what these settings do? Especially the DTS percentage setting? I set it at 10% and then at 90% and I can't hear any difference.

Edit: oops I mean "Line" not link.

We cant switch between HDMI audio and Optical now, that sucks

Link = digital audio surround RF = Stereo

DTS = sound compression for dialogue

I have 2 Mi Boxes, one connected with audio optical out (TosLink) and one using HDMI for audio. I've only updated the TosLink one so far and I can't find the audio switching settings either (but it fortunately kept my settings.) I'll update the other one in a little while and compare and see if I can find what the difference is. Unless it is now auto-detecting when an optical cable is attached...

They don't do a sh**! specially with Dolby Audio decoding (conversion) for Dolby Digital Plus bitstreams from Netflix, when I select the "Always" setting, no sound is output from HDMI/optical connections, I'm so disappointed :-(

Had a poke around on the internet and it appears that the Dolby settings change how Dolby audio tracks are down mixed to stereo. Line mixes the audio so that if you have a receiver capable of Pro Logic decoding, you can still more-or-less get surround sound, while RF just folds everything into a normal Left/Right stereo configuration that doesn't really work with Pro Logic. The DTS stuff just changes the difference between loud and quiet sounds, and tries to make them the same volume.
