<div>Chris,</div>

<div>I don't have a HD setup, but AC3 is working through my spdif connection to my receiver. This may not help, but here's what I have:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>My MythTV audio settings:</div>
<div>Audio output device = /dev/dsp<br>enable ac3 to spdif passthrough = unchecked<br>mixer device=/dev/mixer<br>mixer vontrols = pcm</div>
<div> </div>
<div>
<p>[mythtv@localhost ~]$ cat /home/mythtv/.asoundrc<br>pcm.via82xx {<br>type hw<br>card 0<br>}</p>
<p>ctl.via82xx {<br>type hw<br>card 0</p>
<p>Also, I use Xine for MythVideo instead of mplayer. Here is what I use to launch it:</p>
<p>xine --fullscreen --hide-gui --auto-play --no-logo --no-splash --deinterlace</p>
<p>--</p>

<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="PADDING-LEFT: 1ex; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; BORDER-LEFT: #ccc 1px solid">All,<br><br>I'm trying to get the last set of config done on my recently upgraded MythTV box. I finally did the HDTV plunge over the holidays and have everything working with the exception of AC3 passthrough on DVB/HD recordings (it works fine for 2 channel and even works for xine with AC3). This is on an Creative Audigy 2 zs card.
<br><br>Here's what I have done and have working so far:<br>- I have AC3 passthrough turned on in MythTV<br>- I am outputting to ALSA:spdif in MythTV<br>- I can pick up AC3 in Xine playing movies<br>- Analog NTSC broadcasts play sound just fine over spdif (2 channel)
<br>- OTA ATSC broadcasts play no sound unless I turn off the 'AC3 passthrough' option Myth. Then they play as 2 channel stereo.<br>- If I play the OTA ATSC files in mplayer with '-ac hwac3' set, I get AC3 and full 5.1<br>
<br>I'm thinking the problem is a mixture of Alsa and .asoundrc settings. I'm using the DigitalHowTo with mixed, but have also tried the straight digital setting.<br><br>Two questions:<br>1 - Does anyone have this working?
<br>2 - Can you send me your .asoundrc?<br><br>Thanks!<br><span class="sg"><br>Chris<br></span><br>_______________________________________________<br>mythtv-users mailing list<br><a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="mailto:mythtv-users@mythtv.org">
