#2539: Mac OS X doesn't correctly handle AC3 Passthru
-----------------------------+----------------------------------------------
Reporter: awk at awkward.org | Owner: ijr
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: minor | Milestone: unknown
Component: mythtv | Version: 0.20
Severity: medium |
-----------------------------+----------------------------------------------
The attached patch to audiooutputca.h and new audiooutputca.cpp implements
AC3/SPDIF passthru on those Macintoshes with appropriate hardware (e.g.
Intel & PPC Minis, iMac's, G5's and Mac Pro's). It may well also work on
other audio devices that support a co-axial or fibre-optic SPDIF
connector, make the device your default output device in the Audio MIDI
Settings utility app and try.
Note that if you enable AC3/SPDIF Passthru in the settings but do NOT have
a SPDIF connection to an external decoder you're quite likely to hear
potentially damaging to your hearing (depending on level) amounts of
'noise' (undecoded AC3 data) through either your headphones, built-in
audio or analog external speakers.
