andrewilley Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 PA can only handle stereo audio, it is not designed for multi-track files. Some formats may work (depends on ffmpeg compatibility I guess) but will either be downmixed to stereo or just the Front-L and Front-R channels will be used. I think Dolby Atmos is a proprietary format (like DTS etc) so probably would not work without a licencing arrangement and required fees. Max could confirm that though.
