Sound Problem, HDMI, 5.1, AT5IONT-I - qickquestion - 2012-01-20

Hello!

Software:
XBMC, TVHeadend and Xubuntu 11.10 (64Bit)
NVidia Driver: 290

Hardware:
ASUS AT5IONT-I
TBS 6922

It was quite a little adventure to set up 5.1 Sound via HDMI but now I am completely confounded. I did create a /etc/asound.conf file in order to get the 5.1 sound to the Monitor via HDMI working. It looks like this:

Quote:pcm.!hdmi-remap {
type asym
playback.pcm {
type plug
slave.pcm "remap-surround71"
}
}

pcm.!remap-surround71 {
type route
slave.pcm "hw:1,7"
ttable {
0.0= 1
1.1= 1
2.4= 1
3.5= 1
4.2= 1
5.3= 1
6.6= 1
7.7= 1
}
}

A test (speaker-test -c6 -Dhdmi-remap) was successfull - perfect 5.1 sound and I was very happy. But when I start a MP3, Video or whatever in XBMC it is only in stereo sound - no matter what settings I tried (HDMI, Analog, ...). Any Ideas?
