Chris,
I don't have a HD setup, but AC3 is working through my spdif connection to my receiver. This may not help, but here's what I have:
My MythTV audio settings:
Audio output device = /dev/dsp
enable ac3 to spdif passthrough = unchecked
mixer device=/dev/mixer
mixer vontrols = pcm
enable ac3 to spdif passthrough = unchecked
mixer device=/dev/mixer
mixer vontrols = pcm
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ cat /home/mythtv/.asoundrc
pcm.via82xx {
type hw
card 0
}
ctl.via82xx {
type hw
card 0
Also, I use Xine for MythVideo instead of mplayer. Here is what I use to launch it:
xine --fullscreen --hide-gui --auto-play --no-logo --no-splash --deinterlace

All,
I'm trying to get the last set of config done on my recently upgraded MythTV box. I finally did the HDTV plunge over the holidays and have everything working with the exception of AC3 passthrough on DVB/HD recordings (it works fine for 2 channel and even works for xine with AC3). This is on an Creative Audigy 2 zs card.
Here's what I have done and have working so far:
- I have AC3 passthrough turned on in MythTV
- I am outputting to ALSA:spdif in MythTV
- I can pick up AC3 in Xine playing movies
- Analog NTSC broadcasts play sound just fine over spdif (2 channel)
- OTA ATSC broadcasts play no sound unless I turn off the 'AC3 passthrough' option Myth. Then they play as 2 channel stereo.
- If I play the OTA ATSC files in mplayer with '-ac hwac3' set, I get AC3 and full 5.1
I'm thinking the problem is a mixture of Alsa and .asoundrc settings. I'm using the DigitalHowTo with mixed, but have also tried the straight digital setting.
Two questions:
1 - Does anyone have this working?
2 - Can you send me your .asoundrc?
Thanks!
Chris
