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