Any way to fix some bad queuing in audio channels that occurred from me using DKAudio v.0.1.9 beta for DTS to AC3?
By the time I noticed that the speech channel was coming from the front speaker the original DTS file was gone. So now I just have to put the channels in the right order, only... 2 questions.
Which is the right way? - That is, how does DKAudio sorts each channel? -
And how to do that?
I'm trying to find a way to correct this whole mess directly from the ac3.
I've noticed the commands in Eac3to, specifically
so I bet I could use that to fix the messed up AC3s if I were to use something likeCode:-0,1,2,3,4,5 (remap the channels...)
or something like that? Am I correct?Code:eac3to.exe file.ac3 file.ac3 -384 -1,2,3,0,4,5
Only, I still don't know how the DKAudio orders the channels in the first place. I know the speech comes from the front speakers but only that, and then that's channel what? 0-1? 2-3? 3-4?
Yet another thing I noticed in eac3to was the command to apply some positive or negative gain to the file created
on AC3s that's very useful.Code:+/-3dB apply a positive or..
But when the encoder runs, no matter how much I push the gain upwards, it automatically pushes it back to a preset. If I add 1, it subtracts a number+1 till it matches that preset, if I add 10, that same.
Is there a specified volume which ac3s can't exceed?
Or is this a program default setting? If so, how to undo that setting or change it to my needs?
e.g. I found the post https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/258002-Mini-How-To-Increase-Your-AC3-Volume and that way works for me, however I was hoping to find a way to do everything in one encode if possible, using eac3to only.
So, anyone?

Usually, an AC3 file will have the following ordering:
0 -> Left Front
1 -> Center
2 -> Right Front
3 -> Left Surround (or Rear)
4 -> Right Surround (or Rear)
5 -> LFEICBM target coordinates:
26° 14' 10.16"N -- 80° 16' 0.91"W -
So that's how ac3 should be! Then what is the order for the DTS?
I'm thinking maybe this is where DKAudio did wrong. So if I knew both orders, maybe I could correct this.-Good Things Come to Those Who Wait- -
Ok, after huge extensive testing and experimentation and the help of a more mathematically inclined mind than my own, I finally cracked the wrong channel order "code"
Code:eac3to.exe file.ac3 file_ch_fix.ac3 -0,2,1,4,5,3
Anyway, the question that derives from that now is if there is any way to restore it, not entirely to the 100% of it's original form, but close enough, just not to be annoying. I'm attaching the corrected test ac3 for anyone to hear. file_ch_fix.ac3
It's in the fifth part of the file, sounding at about 6-7 secs.-Good Things Come to Those Who Wait-
