Hi there
I can't figure out how to get my Rasp. Pi working with my sound system over DTS. I've got the follwing set up:
-Rasp Pi v2 (512MB RAM) with Open ELEC 14.06
-Delock HDMI Stereo / 5.1 Kanal Audio Extractor
-Logitech Z906 Sound System (connected over TOSLINK)
-Samsung LED-TV UE40F6340SS
I've set the audio settings in xbmc to "passthrough" and activated "dts capable receiver" none the less it seems that the Pi is transcoding the audio to stereo (on the audio system the "decode"-led is not activated but instead the indicators for stereo sound). Additionally the Pi is also rather slow, which is another reason to think that it's trancoding the audio instead of simply passing it.
In this article http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=PulseAudio they say you have to set the audio to 2.0 even if you want to pass 5.1 sound. I did that, it doesn't help either.
Another thing I did was adding the line "hdmi_force_edid_audio=1" to my config.txt, no effect either.
In this article http://reicheltpedia.de/index.php/Media-...spberry_Pi the author succeeded with the Delock device, so I really can't see why it's not working with my set up.
Can anybody give me a hint on this?
Thx a lot in advance!
Regards
Simon
