[Help] how to extract DTS-ES 6.1

[Wisp of Smoke]

Your receiver also should indicate if the DTS-ES track is matrix or discrete version.

If it is the ES-discrete variant and nothing else will decode it, if your receiver or processor has pre-amp outs, set everything to unity and do a recording from those. Multi-channel audio capturing hardware will of course be required, but it is possible.

I know this is an old thread, but I wanted to mention that DTS 96/24 format does not allow for a discrete 6.1. When encoded as DTS 96/24, only the Matrix option is allowed for 6.1 content. When using 48/24 or 48/16, DTS-ES allows for a discrete surround Back channel.

Good to know schorman, thank you.

News from this thread? Did you succeed?

Otherwise, have you thought about using a hardware decoder, like PS4 or Xbox One (they can convert DTS streams to PCM, maybe the matrixed channels are dematrixed), and capture the audio in HDMI?

Thanks for this hint.
What sort of HW I need to buy?
I want to extract all 7 channels from a DTS-ES 6.1 Matrix.
I want to see 7 channels on Audacity for example after extraction.
