Hi all,
I know there's been loads of posts on s/pdif & 5.1 topics, but I've been
bashing my head against this for quite a while and still am stuck :-(
I'm using the s/pdif output on my VIA 82xx sound card with success when
playing DVDs in myth-dvd, all my speakers produce sound and everything is
hunkydory.
However, when watching live tv I'm only getting the front L & R speaker
producing (not very good) sound. I was expecting all the speakers to emit
sound in a dolby prologic stylee, or am I mad?
I have AC3 pass through set in both my Xine config and mythtv settings.
Here's the relevant (?) snippets from my .asoundrc :
pcm.!default {
type plug
## Uncomment the following to use mixed analog by default
# slave.pcm "dmix-analog"
## Uncomment the following to use unmixed digital by default
slave.pcm "digital-hw"
## Uncomment the following to use mixed digital by default
# slave.pcm "dmix-digital"
}
pcm.digital-hw {
type hw
card 0
device 1
}
# Control device (mixer, etc.)
ctl.digital-hw {
type hw
card 0
}
Any guidance or pointers to relevant threads/docs would be greatly
appreciated.
Cheers, Bryan.
