Context - OpenElec, ZOTAC IONITX-G-E Synergy. This has incorrect mappings which mean that unless they're remapped, the centre channel comes out of the back right, etc...

I've got an HDMI connection into an AV receiver (which I know is working properly).
I've not even got to XBMC yet, I'm trying to get speaker-test to work first

I've got a couple of asound.conf files:

Code:

pcm.hdmi-remap {
    type route
    slave {
        pcm hdmi
        channels 6
        }
        ttable {
        0.0=1
        1.1=1
        2.4=1
        3.5=1
        4.2=1
        5.3=1
        }
    }

  pcm.!default {
     type plug
     slave.pcm hdmi-remap
}

This one doesn't work as designed. Using speakertest -c6, Front left (0) and front right (1) come out fine and the rest are silent.
This one, on the other hand, is different:

Code:

pcm.hdmi-remap {
    type route
    slave {
        pcm hdmi
        channels 6
        }
        ttable {
        #0.0=1
        1.1=1
        2.4=1
        3.5=1
        4.2=1
        5.3=1
        }
    }

  pcm.!default {
     type plug
     slave.pcm hdmi-remap
}

This works PERFECTLY...apart from channel 0, front left. The only change is the ttable 0.0=1 is commented out. Why does adding the channel 0 ttable redirection break the entire thing? Please help!!

(n.b. "ttable {0.0=1}" is the same as "ttable.0.0 1" )
(n.b. #2: not everyone knows that rather than rebooting, you can use "alsactl init 0" instead of rebooting to reinitialise from asound.conf..)

Have you tried removing channels 6? I know this causes problems for some

Yeah...I get exactly the same results with or without that in there.

So...no-one else has any ideas at all?

one last bump....after this this thread can die a sad and lonely death

This is the config I have on my bedroom box using a slightly older version of openelec.

Code:

pcm.!default {
type plug
slave {
pcm "hdmi"
}
}

pcm.!hdmi {
type route
slave.pcm "hw:0,3"
ttable.0.0 1
ttable.1.1 1
ttable.2.4 1
ttable.3.5 1
ttable.4.2 1
ttable.5.3 1
ttable.6.6 1
ttable.7.7 1
}
