Hi,
i have problems getting eac3/dd+ passthrough form HD-DVDs to work.
My setup:
xbmc 9.11 beta
ubuntu 9.10
Intel OnBoard Audio (Bios set to HDMI) -> spidf -> nvidia GeForce 9500 -> HDMI -> AVR DENON 1910
Settings: Digitial Audio, AVR supports DTS and DD, Stereo downmix off, passthrough on.
Devices:
I can select between HDMI and iec958. When i select HDMI i always get the warning that the audi device could not be opened - and i get no sound.
When i select iec958 and play DTS or DD my AVR displays DTS or DD and i get nice 5.1 sound.
If i try to play DD+ (eac3 640kbit says eac3to) the avr displays stereo and i can listen to the effect channels (no speach etc.)
When i select stereo downmix i get a nice and clean stereo downmix.
aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: ALC1200 Analog [ALC1200 Analog]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 1: ALC1200 Digital [ALC1200 Digital]
Subdevices: 1/1

Is the spidf connection the problem? I connected the onboard 2-wire cable directly to the GeForce.
Thx for any help
Martin
