like 5.1 or 7.1, Atmos must be PCM decoded on the Voicemeeter inputs.

@vincent - are you saying that VM will decode any atmos stream that gets directed to it? If you are then that is I don't see atmos at the AVR when I have VM as my default device.

It just occurred to me that I have had other audio software installed on my system that hooked into voicemeeter. - specifically EqualizerAPO and Husevi headphone surround software. I have uninstalled them but perhaps there is something left over that is interrupting the bitstream process and decodin...

Any ideas I can try here? MME doesn't pass Atmos but does pass 7.1 surround according to the sound mode display on my AVR.

Setting to MME appears to pass the base 7.1 signal through but not the Atmos - as mentioned I only see Dolby Surround displayed on the AVR which is not full Atmos. If I bypass Voicemeeter and go straight to the AVR I get Atmos displayed on the AVR.

Perhaps there are configuration settings I could try so as to pass atmos through voicemeeter?

Interesting. So switching all outputs to MME will yield “Dolby Surround”. This is still not Atmos as my AVR will display “atmos” when it is getting that stream.

windows sound device and voicemeeter configs

attached are the speaker configs...more screens to come.

NOTE: although the screenshot of the denon shows that the rear channels are disabled I did re-enable them and executed the tests with no Joy. AVR still shows "Multi In" / PCM.

One more question, can the exclusive mode setting for the output device have any effect here?

Hi, So 1 is correct. Playing atmos content in vlc. Windows defaut sound device set to voicemeeter virtual input. Voicemeeter virtual input is configured with 7.1 in windows speaker config with all speakers enabled and all set to full range. Sound plays and all channel meter bars are active amp n voi...
