Hi all,
This is really strange. I'm trying to get spdif passthrough working on my Zotac ION N330. I'm sending it to my crappy Panasonic Blu-ray home theatre system.
The first strange thing is that it works with 9.11 but not with recent SVN versions. The second, even stranger thing is that when I connect the same PC to my Tevion amp, both 9.11 and SVN work perfectly!
It seems the problem is not the amp, the OS or the Zotac hardware, because it works fine with 9.11. The problem is really not with the SVN because it works with my Tevion amp. It seems to be an incompatiblity between the SVN version of XBMC and my Panasonic sound system.
My underlying OS is Mythbuntu 9.10, oh and by the way Mythtv passthru work fine.
Here is my log showing an svn session where spdif didn't work. Doesn't show anything interesting to me.
I'm on svn 28256, but have tried many others with the same result.
Any ideas what could be happening here?
Cheers
Phil
