Mi Box 8.0 Audio Settings

by MrCryptoManiac

What's the difference between RF and LINE option for Dolby Audio? Also, you can choose "OFF" as well, but I still get audio from files with Dolby codec when choosing "OFF", so what does it do to the audio? Does the box convert the audio to some other codec? If so, what codec?

Thanks for answers.

" It controls how Dolby Digital 5.1 is downmixed.

RF: Down mixed to Right/Left Stereo. When you use this setting, the dynamic range is wider, which makes the music and loud noises louder, but voices quieter.

Line: Down mixed to Pro-Logic Surround. When you use this setting, the dynamic range is narrower, which makes music and loud noises quieter, but voices louder. "

No one really knows. They made a mess out of the audio settings.

I use the optical connection and now since you can't specify output, I get audio from both my TV and home theater. And if I mute the TV, I get an annoying 🔕 icon that doesn't go away

Impossible to get 5.1 using optical or hdmi, they're mentioning this as a bug on that MI forum?

Is dolby 5.1 working for anyone? Sound is cutting out for me with 5.1 on netflix, vudu and hbogo movies.
