Since Bo-Erik mentioned it, I've been wondering about multichannel computer audio over HDMI to a home theater amp.
Does anyone know if ALSA on Linux or Core Audio on MacOS support this? In other words, if I'm running Linux on a motherboard with HDMI output, do the eight channels of audio show up as an ALSA device that I could use with Jack? Same question for MacOS, if I plug the HDMI output of my MacMini into a home theater amp, do I see an 8 channel audio device in Plogue Bidule (for example)? I know this sort of stuff should work, but I'd like to know if anyone has tried it. Along these lines, it has been a while since I've bought any home audio gear, does anyone have a suggestion for a HT receiver where one can get at all eight channels carried over an HDMI connection? Thanks.... Aaron _______________________________________________ Sursound mailing list Sursound@music.vt.edu https://mail.music.vt.edu/mailman/listinfo/sursound
