I am using version 2.2.4 and experiencing a test file(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZ4FKFbyCS4) I have used before on a different sound setup(same PC) is not working like it used to.
Now when playing it in VLC, there is no LFE channel audio and LF/RF is mixed with the rear speakers.
Same file in Windows Media Player and KODI plays like before with correct audio in individual channels. I have tried to change everything that I could think of in the audio settings and I have also reinstalled(with settings removed as well), but it still doesn't play the audio correct.
Testing with other files I have download is the same, however some of them also doesn't play correctly in WMP and KODI. For example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-Ap373bP5o
I also tried some of the "official" test files from Dolby: https://thedigitaltheater.com/index.php/dolby-trailers/ and the first "Amaze" seems to be playing the LFE channel just fine.
As mentioned, the original file I tested with, used to work fine in VLC on a different sound setup(denon avr-1910) but now with a Samsung HW-K560 + SWA-8000S soundbar + rear kit it is not working...
