Hi all,
Does XBMC output surround sound via the iPad's HDMI adapter? I've tested an MKV file with a 5.1 AC3 sound track but my receiver is only registering it as 2 channel PCM. The receiver doesn't have a problem with other inputs (sat box, console, etc) so it must be either my HDMI adapter or XBMC. There aren't too many settings to play with -- I did set the output to 'HDMI' in the 'audio settings' menu.
I realize that most people probably don't use HDMI to output video since XBMC doesn't currently support native video output, but it looks like this feature will be added soon enough thanks to the promising work of memphiz.
