Is 2.3.6.6 the latest version?

Posted by Stephan Shelley (Member # 8587) on 06-24-2017, 02:26 PM:

It is. It adds support for Dolby 7.1 surround. One thing if you don't have global delay and want it there is a version to enable global delay that you have to install first. Then install 2.3.6.6

Cool. Thanks.

If you have a Robosound issue, there is "another" version but it was never officially posted and has potential side-effects.

We seemed to loose all channels except for left. Nothing showed up on the panel graphs as far as signal goes also. Reboot would solve it. I reseated all the boards a few days ago and it hasn't happened again. We will see.

what side effects did you experience with the "other" version Steve?

Posted by Stephan Shelley (Member # 8587) on 06-28-2017, 07:57 PM:

Steve do you have a copy of the beta software? While I have heard rumors about it never have talked with anyone that had seen an actual copy.

Posted by Steve Guttag (Member # 268) on 06-28-2017, 09:14 PM:

It is 2.3.7.2. It is not mine to give out. You'd need to consult with Dolby tech support to obtain it.

I, honestly forget what the downsides are of it. Like some medicines, the side-effects are less bothersome than problem it attempts to fix.

BTW...as a general rule, for copyrighted things, like software or even passwords, never ask me for them, I don't give them out. That is for the copyright holder to do.

To clarify I was not asking you to send it, just if you had seen it or positively knew it existed.

Posted by Steve Guttag (Member # 268) on 06-28-2017, 09:46 PM:

I positively know it exists and have installed it and can confirm that it helps with Robosound.

I checked with Dolby tech support and you should be able to get it from them if you want to give it a try.

The down side is you get a pop in the sound when you change between digital formats. Say like going from 88 to 91.6 channel pcm to Dolby 7.1.
