[mythtv-users] Digital Pass-through Using HDMI

[Kenneth Emerson]

I helped my son set up a new MythTV setup for his new home (yes, he finally
moved out, but no, he didn't want to leave the MythTV scene!).  Figured the
easiest solution was to use MythBuntu.  The setup was pretty
straightforward (as much as any piece of this project can be :) ).  The one
piece we cannot solve is the sound.  He has a Logitech 5.1 system with
digital coax.  Unfortunately, his MB only has analog output :(.  However,
his new 60" Panasonic plasma TV has audio pass-through :) .  When we try to
test the audio through the MythTV audio setup (he is running current 0.27)
we cannot get anything to "pass-through" except 2 channel stereo.  There
are other choices that include 5.1 but we get "No digital signal" from the
Logitech controller.  Has anyone else tried this or have any ideas beside
buying a sound card?
