Nad m10 + 2 pulse flex 2i sorround mode not working

Answered
Álv M
I've recently added a pair of pulse flex 2i to my nad m10 v2 to test dolby sorround through my arc hdmi signal from TV. I've created a fixed group for home theater with no problem but, no sound plays at all from the rears (pulses flex). Tried to disable dirac profiles, trying different sources (tidal, tv atmos movies, 5.1 YouTube videos...) with same result: no sound from puse rears. Dunno if I'm doing something wrong or it is yet another broken feature after 4.0 updates. Any help appreciated and thanks in advance. BR

    Hi Alv

    In the Now Playing Screen of the BluOS App, are you seeing a DOLBY Content Indicator? If you are not getting DOLBY content, you will not hear the rears.

    You can enable a stereo surround mix for non-Dolby content. Here's how; https://support.bluos.net/hc/en-us/articles/360059475273

    Yes, dolby logo shows. I actually made rear sound, the trim sorround levels automatically were set to 0db and had to go to +15db to get some sound.

    I wonder why the wizard for the home theater group skipped that last step (it is shown in the official bluesound doc).

    For the moment I can start testing the output. So thank you.

    One last thing is: May I create a new dirac profile with the rears in place? I know that dirac won't adjust rears but maybe will have a different calibration due to rears sounding...

    The 0db is in relation to the mains. Think of it as a balance or fader. (personally, I like the rumble seat effect too and have my rears set at +3db and my sub boosted too...though admittedly this is likely not what the Great Ben Burtt and his bretheren had in mind...)

    DIRAC will not take the rears into account. You can try but will have no effect...
