HDMI Audio Problems - s_Fanous - 2009-12-04 Hi I'm running the following system
I'm connecting my the HDMI out of my laptop (Acer 5930G) to the HDMI input of my A/V receiver (Pioneer VSX-21TXH). HDMI out of my A/V receiver is connected to the HDMI input of my plasma. The problem [LIST=2] [*]I use the nVIDIA Control Panel and set my A/V receiver as my display. [*]I then go to the Windows Control Panel -> Sound and Audio Devices and set the NVIDIA High Definition Audio as my default device for Sound playback, and Voice playback [*]Start XBMC [*]XBMC Audio settings are as follows Audio Output: Digital Dolby Digital (AC3) capable receiver: ON DTS capable receiver: ON Audio output device: NVIDIA High Definition Audio Downmix multichannel audio to stereo: OFF [*]Navigating the XBMC menus I get to hear the sound [*]Playing a DVD results in jibberish sound (artifacts, on/off sound, weird behaviour) from my 5.1 speakers. [/LIST] Now, if I set the Dolby Digital (AC3) capable receiver and DTS capable receiver options to OFF, I can hear the sound normally, but of course the A/V Receiver displays PCM as the input signal. I've tried several DVDs and I get the same problem. I've also tried all possible surround sound options in my A/V receiver to no avail. I'd be very appreciative if someone could help me with the issue, as I'd ideally love to have my A/V receiver do the decoding. Thanks in advance Cheers |
