Hi,
I'm having an issue with sound on my Linux setup. on surround sound sources (videos) i only hear the background music/noise, but not the voices.
I'm running Arch Linux, and i've installed xbmc-git via AUR (last updated 2/4/14, here)
I have a gforce 210 card, with hdmi > stereo > TV (NVIDIA Corporation GT218 [GeForce 210])
I have the "official" nvidia-304xx 304.119 from the pacman repositories.
My stereo is 5.1 surround sound
On my old setup with frodo (Linux Mint Debian Edition), i would select optical/coax for audio type, even though the audio was going through HDMI. If it was set to HDMI I would have this same issue, sound coming through, but no voices. On gothem, there is no option to choose optical/coax.
If i set xbmc to 2.1 speakers, i hear the audio track, but it cuts out the surround speakers.
This only affects videos that have surround sound, other stereo videos sound fine.
Let me know if there are any logs that i can get that would help.
