After applying a patch for Bug #1264886 and setup the a52 plug-In, I am able to play Norrlanda.wav via Totem with 5.1 channels to my amp.
I think this proves the following: 1. My hardware setup is OK 2. The low level alsa driver is able to output AC3 But Paththrough via the hw and the iec958 is still not possible. Any idea how to debug any further? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1264609 Title: No AC3 paththrough with hda intel ALC887-VD Saucy To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/1264609/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
