I updated to 0.24-fixes via the packages for mythbuntu. The upgrade<br>
went very smoothly, thankfully. Way smoother than the 0,23 upgrade and<br>
it's database woes.<br>
<br>
In any case, one thing I did notice after doing the audio device scan<br>
and choosing the HDMI device is that 2ch AC3 no longer goes to my<br>
receiver (which is digitally connected to my TV, which is HDMI connected<br>
to my mythfrontend machine) as AC3. Something that has more than 2<br>
channels will be sent to my receiver as AC3 though.<br>
<br>
Is this intentional?<br>
