Hi all....
I've spend this weekend trying to get more than 2 channels PCM from my Revo to my AV receiver via HDMI but still no joy....
DTS works fine but i really want that full lossless audio!! I've tried updating ALSA to 1.0.22.1....still nothing....
I've been reading the forums and trawling the thread regarding multichannel sound via HDMI.....I have the standard 190 ION drivers that came with the 9.11 release of Live...
The questions....
(1) Does the 1.0.22.1 release include the patch (as discussed in the 'How-To Multichannel' Thread) to allow full 8ch audio? With PCM I only seem to be getting 2 (I get music/FX but not the actors).
(2) Ive read that VDPAU has issues with 185 nVidia ION drivers?....the 'multichannel guide' states that the 190/195 drivers have issues with multichannel PCM?......
So am I ultimately left with chosing picture or audio?! Is there anyway to revert to the 185 drivers by retaining the core VDPAU library?
Please can someone offer any guidance.....
Hardware Ref:-
Acer Revo 3600 connected to AV Receiver via HDMI
190.53 ION Drivers on XBMC Live 9.11
Onkyo 606 Amp
