Just for information to those who encounter this trouble: you can get AC3/DTS output working on VLC and SMplayer by using ALSA directly: - VLC : chose "use S/PDIF if possible" and "Alsa" as output. If you've got several sound card, then chose "show settings" -> "ALL" at the bottom, chose Audio->output modules->ALSA and then chose the correct sound card. - SMplayer : open preferences->General->Audio. Then chose the correct alsa sound card (not just alsa) and enable "AC3/DTS passtrough S/PDIF".
I can't get it working with Totem even choosing ALSA output on gstreamer-properties because gstreamer output still is redirected to pulseaudio doing this. -- PulseAudio doesn't allow AC3 output through S/PDIF https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/520157 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
