Has any body got Dodby Digital to work?
What I am talking about is when I watch a movie with mythvideo I want my computers SPDIF connector connected to my Sony receiver and have the Blue light come on the receiver saying I am running Dodby Digtal 3/2 (5.1 Surround).
I have no problem getting the SPDIF output to work and my receiver, but it says it has a PCM 48 connection, but it is only 2 channels.
I have a Asus A7N8X-E deluxe MB with 6 channel audio. I am running alsa 1.08 and I have tested it with the MB's audio and a Sound Blaster Live 5.1 card. Both do the same thing 2 channel digital audio.
I did try to use the Nvidia OSS audio drivers and was able to get my receiver say it was Dodby Digtal 3/2 and the blue light came on. But, the drivers would make all the video run real real slow, so it made the audio driver unusable.
I have also tried xine, the last 3 versions of MPlayer and the CVS version of MPlayer. They all do the same thing, 2 channel digital audio.
I have it working with Xine. In the Xine configuration file, I set the following to make it work:
audio.driver:alsa audio.output.speaker_arrangement:Pass Through
By default, the alsa pass through device is: #audio.device.alsa_passthrough_device:iec958:AES0=0x6,AES1=0x82,AES2=0x0,AES3=0x
