[Linux] Nvidia ION and AC3 passthrough issues - Project5 - 2011-10-15 Good afternoon everyone, I've been having issues getting XBMC working properly on any audio file that contains ac3. The problem is that I get a brief period of loud static, and then no audio at all. My setup: XBMC box -> hdmi -> tv (optionally -> optical -> 5.1 a/v receiver, but we can leave that out until ac3 works since it shows the same problem) Note that both the tv and the a/v receiver are capable of decoding the same ac3 file when played from my laptop. The xbmc box plays non-ac3 files just fine. My aplay -l: Code: **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** My aplay -L: Code: null The workaround I've been using is to deselect ac3 capable receiver, but then due to the bug described here, I can only get stereo out. On the a/v receiver, this was tested with: Code: $ speaker-test -Dplughw:0,3 -c6 I have tried setting audio output device to Code: Custom: plughw:0,3 What should I try out to get ac3 passthrough working over hdmi? - Project5 - 2011-10-18 This is with the AT3IONT-I motherboard from ASUS. Is there anything that can be done, or any additional information that I can provide? - Silverlock - 2011-10-18 I actually found it easier to go for the whole thing: xbmc -> hdmi -> tv -> optical -> a/v receiver. With navigation sounds turned *off*, audio output set to HDMI and audio output device and passthrough output device set to hdmi (ALSA), I get ac3 and dts working on the receiver. The TV only gives static, but I can live with that. I mucked around with it a bit and did have ac3 working at one point, but at the moment I can't remember exactly what I did. - Project5 - 2011-10-20 I seem to get static on both the tv and the receiver. Anything else that I can try? |
