Multiple Audio Output

Nimo · 2011-11-01 18:29

Hi,
i have just one question. would it be possible to get in options/audio different outputs for mp3 2chan and DTS/AC3? i use dts connect for sound (theatron agrippa) because series in mp3 2channel sounds are boring. but i cant enable ac3/dts throuput for this. and so i have to recode in dts connect, i think i loose a bit of suround after that. so i would prefer one setting for mp3 and an other for dts/ac3. so i could select spdif optical output. if it couldnt be real i just like xbmc anymore.
my specs: windows 7 x64
xbmc 10.1 + cirrus ev2
theatron agrippa opt spdif (dts connect)
denon receiver 5.1 opt in

sry for my english, im from germany

so long, realy great xbmc. i love it

Hi, an old request but i'm joining it, although dual audio ouput patch kind of solve this request.

I use a DAC Atoll 100 trough SPDIF connector + Atoll IN100SE PAmp for Music, and DENON 2809 AV receveir connected by HDMI, so If the XBMC main branch could include this dual audio feature +brand new AE, it would be perfect !

no, the mentioned Dual-Audio output patch is something completely different (simultaniously output the same sound on two devices).
And it has been said several times before - DualAudio for now won't become part of XBMC nor work with AE.

As da-anda says, simultaneous output to two sources will not happen - get a splitter/repeater.

You can configure one device for passthrough (encoded) formats like AC3/DTS and another for non-passthrough formats list mp3/FLAC, and they will play to the selected device, just one or the other depending on format. Note that this is using nightlies and AE.

Hi,

i'm sorry if my request have been already and often answered.

DDDamian -> i'm not sure i clearly understand the possibilities of XBMC : i've just upgraded Dharma to Eden. Is this possible to make XBMC switch from a audio output device (graphic card with HDMI for DTS/AC3 and their HD evolution for movies) to another audio output device (sound card with spdif for music) depending of what content type i'm playing ?

Is this an Eden feature or AE feature or Nightlies fetaure ? As i don't know anything in dev, i never read this part of the forum.

(i'm really sorry for my english understanding and writing, i'm french...)
