[PATCH] Dual Audio Output support for XBMC (Eden Updated)
#76
Works Great on XBMCFreak 10.00 V1 Dahrma final (Name is wrong but you get the point which one)..

I did have to do the following for dependencies

sudo service xbmc-live stop
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:lucid-bleed/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libmodplug1 libmodplug-dev libmodplug0c2 libssh-4 libssl-dev

Then copied binary over existing file as mentioned above! (of course making a backup first)
sudo reboot

Voila it was there and ready to be configured!

THANKS!!!!!!!! This is AWESOME!

PS throught I would add my GUI settings as an FYI.

Both on the Same Sound Card
Output 1 - Optical to Stereo
Output 2 - Stereo Output to House Audio System

In the past I would get static on the Stereo Output when playing a multichannel audio, That is a thing of the past!!!!!

hmm couldn´t get it working on a pov mobii with ubuntu, libs missing... could install them but I am not sure if it makes sense when it ends in choppy playback.... some ION useres with success?

@tequila.
My video is not choppy (only watched 1 1080p movie so not exhaustive testing) but I am running a home made PC with a older Q6600 and a CrystalHD Card so that may be the difference between our installs.

First post in this forum. I was SO waiting for a patch like this since I switched to Win7. Under XP, it worked to have the sound analog on zone 2, while providing zone 1 with digital SPDIF 5.1, but unfortunatelly not under Win7.

Now it just replaced the xbmc.exe, configured and it worked instantly like a charm. Thx a lot!
No choppy 1080i either so far

Thumbs Up 
Works great!
I'm now able to simultaneously output both 2ch stereo over HDMI to my TV and 5.1ch over S/PDIF to my reciever. No more manual switching Smile
This patch should be included into xbmc by default!

Keep up the great work!

hmm all I get is this: error while loading shared libraries: libmodplug.so.1
trying to find this ...no luck yet except libmodplug0c2 and libmodplug-dev which both don't fix it

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alright I am stuck... managed to install the libmodplug1 through a debian package
so far so good xbmc launches again but no menu sounds and both devices fail Sad

so I tried a another asound.conf (from here: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=62919) but no real luck:
I hoped to get at least the TOSlink to work with this.


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

pcm.both_digital {
type route
slave {
pcm multi
channels 4
}
ttable.0.0 1.0
ttable.1.1 1.0
ttable.0.2 1.0
ttable.1.3 1.0
}

# Toslink digital_1 output
pcm.digital_1 {
type hw
card 0
device 1
channels 2
}

# HDMI digital_2 output
pcm.digital_2 {
type hw
card 0
device 3
channels 2
}

pcm.multi {
type multi
slaves.a {
pcm "digital_1"
channels 2
}

slaves.b {
pcm "digital_2"
channels 2
}

bindings.0.slave a
bindings.0.channel 0
bindings.1.slave a
bindings.1.channel 1
bindings.2.slave b
bindings.2.channel 0
bindings.3.slave b
bindings.3.channel 1
}



I have to admit, that I am a linux idiot I don´t really know what I am doing ;-)
For people like me there is a button in the setup required like "test audio device" ... with a sound).
Anyway, someone who is able to point me into the right direction?

You ION people know about it, this is what the audio devices look like:

card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 0: ALC662 rev1 Analog [ALC662 rev1 Analog]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 1: ALC662 rev1 Digital [ALC662 rev1 Digital]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 3: NVIDIA HDMI [NVIDIA HDMI]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0


Anyway, my alsamixer just shows:
Master, Headphone, PCM, Front, Front Mi, Surround, Line, Mic, Mic Boos, S/PDIF, S/PDIF D, S/PDIF 1, Beep

where I cannot modify the S/PDIF items and there is no coax/tos listed

Since with the original xbmc.bin I have menu sounds but when playing a movie fails now too, maybe it is a good idea to get back to the roots (yes I am willing to understand what is actually going on):

1. What is actually required by xbmc? asound.conf, alsamixer, what else ?
2. Belongs tos/coax to s/pdif ? So do I have to get s/pdif (thought thats only the 3,5mm jack) running to get tos/coax working ?


sigh... I´ll do some more sound tests outside xbmc now

Does this work with the latest XBMC Live ?

Yes

Just replace your already installed xbmx .exe file with the relevant '10.0-Dharma Final:' one from the first post inthis thread.

For anyones infomation:

I tried nessus's set up from a few posts back but not all files played ok


I ended up with:


FIRST AUDIO OUTPUT
Audio Output : HDMI
Speakers Configuration : 2.0
DD AC3 capable NO
DTS cabable NO
Audio Output Device : DirectSound Nvidia HD

SECOND AUDIO OUTPUT
Audio Output : optical/coax
Speakers Configuration : 5.1
Boost Volume YES
DD AC3 Capable YES
DTS Capable Yes
Audio Output Device : DirectSound Realtek Digital Output

SYSTEM SETUP
XBMC Dharma (Latest)
Acer Revo R3700
Windows 7 Enterprise 32bit


This gives me sound to the TV over HDMI and 5.1 or stereo to my Denon receiver over optical

Hi Guys,

Since I am not capable to patch and compile a source code, would somebody might share a ready installable version of Dharma Final for Windows ?

I need this second audio output so bad but I do not know how to get it
Thanks a lot

Just install the regular Dharma Final for Windows and replace the executable with the version you can download from the first post.
So, replace C:\Program Files\XBMC\XBMC.exe with XBMC.exe from the rar archive.

Alright, for all of you with trouble on nvidia ion based systems.
This is far from perfect but it works (though no menu sounds).

My System is a 330 POV Mobii.

This is for having Digital Audio on HDMI AND Coax/Optical on an ubuntu based system 10.04.1 LTS (if you don´t know your version use at console: echo -e $(cat /etc/issue)|head -1).

First of all I got rid of Pulse-Audio. (This might be a problem for some of you but it turned out that only without it it works for me.

This is what aplay -l returns:

Code:
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 0: ALC662 rev1 Analog [ALC662 rev1 Analog]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 1: ALC662 rev1 Digital [ALC662 rev1 Digital]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 3: NVIDIA HDMI [NVIDIA HDMI]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

I am only interested in device 1 and device 3
So I picked this asound.conf and put it into /etc

I don´t have any further configs like .asoundrc, just this asound.conf
and I have to learn whats actually going on to have real 7.1


Code:
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave {
pcm "both"
}
}

pcm.both {
type route
slave {
pcm multi
channels 6
}
ttable.0.0 1.0
ttable.1.1 1.0
ttable.0.2 1.0
ttable.1.3 1.0
ttable.0.4 1.0
ttable.1.5 1.0
}

pcm.multi {
type multi
slaves.a {
pcm "tv"
channels 2
}
slaves.b {
pcm "receiver"
channels 2
}
slaves.c {
pcm "phones"
channels 2
}
bindings.0.slave a
bindings.0.channel 0
bindings.1.slave a
bindings.1.channel 1
bindings.2.slave b
bindings.2.channel 0
bindings.3.slave b
bindings.3.channel 1
bindings.4.slave c
bindings.4.channel 0
bindings.5.slave c
bindings.5.channel 1
}

pcm.tv {
type dmix
ipc_key 1024
slave {
    pcm "tvhw"
    period_time 0
    period_size 1024
    buffer_size 8192
    rate 48000
}
bindings {
    0 0
    1 1
}
}

pcm.receiver {
type dmix
ipc_key 1024
slave {
    pcm "receiverhw"
    period_time 0
    period_size 1024
    buffer_size 8192
    rate 48000
}
bindings {
    0 0
    1 1
}
}

pcm.phones {
type dmix
ipc_key 1024
slave {
    pcm "phoneshw"
    period_time 0
    period_size 1024
    buffer_size 8192
    rate 48000
}
bindings {
    0 0
    1 1
}
}

pcm.tvhw {
    type hw
    card 0
    device 3
    channels 2
}

pcm.receiverhw {
    type hw
    card 0
    device 1
    channels 2
}

pcm.phoneshw {
    type hw
    card 0
    device 0
    channels 2
}

Everything about device 0 could be left out but it doesn´t hurt me so I left it as it is. Next step is to fix it for 7.1 dts.

The config in the patched xbmc is as follows:

First device is HDMI 7.1, everything checked, device hdmi passthrough hdmi.

Second Device is Optical/Coax 7.1, everything checked, custom device (important) receiverhw which is Nvidia Audio device 1. Same to passthrough.

Now music and Video works fine. I can toggle between hdmi and optical on my onkyo 7.1 receiver.

The idea behind it is to have audio no matter what display device is connected. Up to now I had no sound when I switched to the beamer which is not yet HD/Hdmi capable.

Next step is to understand EVERYTHING in asound.conf. I´ll let you know once I found out :-)

Hope this is useful for some of you.

Btw, I didn´t notice any stuttering in HD playback yet.

digzz: live is linux afaik
