Movie will not play with audio passthrough enabled

[DADAMAJA 3]

So far I have come up with the following.  Looking for the best way to expand stereo to surround and spread to center.

 

##Conditional Auto Profiles##
[profile_for_music_files]
profile-desc="profile for music files"
profile-cond=(filename:match"%.mp3$" or filename:match"%.flac$") ~= nil
af=lavfi=[anequalizer=c0 f=31.25 w=100 g=-0.60 t=1|c1 f=62.5 w=100 g=-3.72|c2 f=125 w=100 g=-2.52|c3 f=250 w=100 g=-1.92|c4 f=500 w=100 g=-2.40|c5 f=1000 w=100 g=-2.52|c6 f=2000 w=100 g=-2.76|c7 f=4000 w=100 g=0.96|c8 f=8000 w=100 g=0.84|c9 f=16000 w=100 g=1.92]

I would use the surround filter for that:

https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-filters.html#surround

And audio properties for setting the condition

https://mpv.io/manual/master/#command-interface-audio-codec

And add channel count as stereo. You don't want 5.1 flac being remixed

Your entry for audio device needs to use the name not the hex. The hex will change, the name won't 

I should probably check your mpv.conf

So something like this:

audio-device=wasapi/AMD HDMI Output (AMD High Definition Audio Device)

[Stereo to surround]
profile-cond=(p["audio-codec-name"]=="flac" or p["audio-codec-name"]=="mp3") and p["audio-params/channel-count"]==2
af=surround=chl_out=5.1

The auto-profiles are always at the bottom of the conf

So only stereo mp3 and stereo flac would be filtered to surround

Or are you wanting all channels to output the exact same sound? If yes, just use the upmix option in the Theater settings. Which uses pan:

Thanks for the tips.  I changed the audio-device to what you suggested and set my profile like following:

[Upmix_and_EQ_Music]
profile-desc="Upmix music to 7.1 and EQ"
profile-cond=(p["audio-codec-name"]=="flac" or p["audio-codec-name"]=="mp3") and p["audio-params/channel-count"]==2
af=surround=chl_out=7.1 
af-add=superequalizer=1b=[10]:2b=[10]:3b=[10]:4b=[10]:5b=[10]:6b=[10]:7b=[10]:8b=[10]:9b=[10]:10b=[10]:11b=[10]:12b=[10]:13b=[10]:14b=[10]:15b=[18]:16b=[15]:17b=[20]:18b=[15]

I am playing around with the superequilizer and it all seems to be working like I want it.  Thank a million for all of your help.  Hopefully this thread will help someone out in the future.

Groovy. Remember that it will affect all files that have matching audio. So if a movie has stereo flac, it will filter that audio, too. Which, I imagine, will be a good thing.
