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><br>Chris<br>
