I connected HD max to onkyo 5008 through HDMI. I tried to play kungfupanda from external hdd in dune HD max. It is playing in Dolby Digital without any problem but when i change th audio track to TruHD audio is not coming.

Couple of things:

1. In Dune, go to audio setting and set the output to bitstream. Look up Dune HD Media Players - User Manual for details.

2. In the Onkyo, go to Listening Mode Preset and ensure that, for the source you have connected the Dune to, the presets are all properly assigned - Dolby to Dolby, Dolby TrueHD to Dolby TrueHD, etc. It should not be set to 'Last Assigned'.

Do these and see what happens

Cheers

Thanks Venkatcr.

I have done the settings like you mentioned. I will check again in receiver. I am not facing any problem when i am playing bluray disc which contains truhd or dts hd master audio tracks. But from external hard disc i am facing problem. I didnt try using internal hdd. I will check the settings in receiver. Any other solutions. Or instructions to tune settings in dune would help me a lot.

If you are getting HD Audio while playing an Blu-Ray, all your settings are correct. If a disk based file is not showing HD Audio, then it is possible it has not been ripped properly. If it work for a disc, it should work for a HD media, whether internal or external.

You are right venkat. Its not properly ripped. Av couldnt identify the audio format when i change it to TruHD. But how it is identified in media player. Why not AVR player?

I dont understand. You are saying the Dune identifies it as a Blu-Ray rip? It will, but most rips always downgrade the audio to 5.1. The only way you can get TrueHD is when you have a duplicate copy of the Blu-ray disc on your hard disk.

I am using Dune HD Max and Onkyo TX NR 3007 amp.
I don't have any problems so far for playing True HD 7.1
audio. Problem may be with the rip. Check with another movie rip.

Dranil, if i set the output as 7.1 in Dune HD max audio setting, and the file audio track support is 5.1 truHD, what would be the output in receiver. Will it extend to 7.1 Dolby EX or it would be 5.1 TruHD. In receiver I simply pass through the audio track -> meant Dolby 5.1 to Dolby 5.1. Not extending. I experienced when i tried to play TruHD audio track in Dune HD max and in receiver it is displaying TruHD in the display area as well it is extended to 7.1 as Dolby 7.1 Ex. Later I changed setting in Dune to 5.1, after change i got proper output as TruHD 5.1. I dont know what is the reason. Any suggestions? And what internal HDD are you using in you Dune Max? Currently I dont have internal HDD. I planning to buy one. But no clear idea which one to buy.

Download any of the trailer in TrueHD from this location. High Definition Trailers (HD) - Demo World

Then test it.

Hi
I am using Bitstream output from Dune and the amp takes care of the next.
For internal HDD I am using Seagate 2TB ones and very happy with the performance. Since there is cooling fan in Dune, heat build up after using for few hours continuosly is not much.
Thanks
