Hi.
Using Mythtv 0.25-fixes, I've got an EeeBox PC (EB1012P) and I can't
seem to find a sound device that will give me 5.1 via DD/DTS from it.
I have the EeeBox connected to my TV's HDMI and the TV is connected to
my DD/DTS capable receiver over an optical connection. To the same TV I
have another Myth machine using an Nvidia GT210. The latter is capable
of getting 5.1 audio to the receiver using DD/DTS just fine, so I know
the basic components and connections work.
When I run the Test All in the Myth frontend's audio setup on the GT210,
each speaker is successfully testing with the receiver being put into
DD/DTS for each speaker.
On the EeeBox PC, I am able to get the front pair of speakers to work
but I notice that the receiver is not being put into DD/DTS, and
unsurprisingly none of the other speakers (centre, rears) work.
I do have the DD and DTS checkboxes checked in the audio configuration
for the EeeBox.
The list of available devices on the EeeBox are:

hdmi:CARD=NVidia,DEV=1 is the only device I can get any sound out of at
all but I can only get front left/right.
The cards in this machine are:
# cat /proc/asound/cards
0 [Intel ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel
HDA Intel at 0xf9ff8000 irq 46
1 [NVidia ]: HDA-Intel - HDA NVidia
HDA NVidia at 0xfbefc000 irq 16
Any ideas?
Cheers,
