this doesn't seem to be an Sony related issue. Same happened here
when I switched from VDR 1.2.6 to 1.3.19. Besides many other problems,
partially solved, I still don't have DD audio anymore.

I can select Audio by green btn, switch to DD (e.g. Pro7 sends in)
but my receiver HarmanKardon2000 does not detect the PCM signal
change - so no sound is available on DD.

Any clues around here ?
