Downloaded latest Mac 64-bit nightly, VLC 2.2.0-git, to test. I noticed that ticket 8526 had been closed as completed. I initially thought the mapping was not fixed but when I went to check it "one last time", it worked. It seemed to take a while for the channels to set themselves properly...

For the two LPCM 7.1 files I've uploaded, after streaming out of VLC and renaming the rear surround channels, here is the remapping in QT that worked for me. The original assignment in QT is in parentheses. 1 Left (no change) 2 Right (no change) 3 Right Surround (was Center) 4 LFE Screen (no change)...

TrueHD 7.1 is perfect as is. So happy!

The LPCM 7.1 has the remapping issue I mentioned above; the center and two surrounds (not rears) are scrambled.

Ok, I've tried both and didn't see any difference between choosing HDMI or System for the audio device, with or without changing Audio Midi settings. In both cases, the settings applied in Audio Midi Setup had no effect and I could not re-map the speakers. All 8 channels play! Front Left, Right and ...

I need to try re-mapping, but I can tell already with 2.1.0 (latest nightly build) that all channels play somewhere , and that was not the case before. So I'm optimistic. Should I choose the audio device as "System Sound Output Device" instead of HDMI, in order to gain control over the map...

Suggestion: Support speaker mapping for multichannel audio content, as Quicktime 7 does. I have a 7.1 home theater and recently got myself a new MacBook Pro, so naturally I want to see them play nice together. I found some LPCM 7.1 "calibration" or "demonstration" files on a comm...
