Does that mean that this is not a bug after all? If it does pass-through why don't I get 5.1 sound when playing 5.1 sample files, like this one? http://www.mysurround.com/test/TestMySurround-en.dbr.ac3 Cheers, Joaoabs -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1014897 Title: [sound-nua] sound preference does not provide ac3 passthrough spdif in 5.1 speaker test To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/1014897/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

About PulseAudio, S/PDIF ac3 output: PulseAudio does not ship an ac3 encoder by default (I believe it is for patent reasons). As such there is no way we can output ac3 in speaker test dialog (and we don't ship pre-encoded 5.1 sample wavs either). As for passthrough support, should be working fairly well in 13.10 (although I have never tested it), but if the input is encoded, there's nothing we can do w r t changing the volumes, as the stream is just passing through in encoded format.

Thanks David for the explanation, it seems that the issue is not really in the configuration dialog then... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1014897 Title: [sound-nua] sound preference does not provide ac3 passthrough spdif in 5.1 speaker test To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/1014897/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hey David, do you if that issue is in the settings UI or on the pulseaudio side? ** Changed in: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = Low -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1014897 Title: [sound-nua] sound preference does not provide ac3 passthrough spdif in 5.1 speaker test To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/1014897/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
