How Can I set audio passthrough? - Martin_Andersen - 2013-05-29
I bought a Raspberry PI because I want to play high-res files from HDTracks. The music I bought is FLAC in 192kHz/24bit resolution.
I have a Marantz AV7005 that can decode anything and just want to pass through the audio stream to my receiver.
The same applies to movies, I want to pass through the DTS-HD audio to the receiver.
I am using HDMI to connect to my receiver and openELEC build 3.03.
Is this possible with xbmc and the Raspberry PI ?
Hope that some one can help me, I have Google'd for days and

nope
RPi does not support HD audio formats,unless not yet
RE: How Can I set audio passthrough? - Martin_Andersen - 2013-05-29
I don't want the rpi to decode it, just use pass through
Re: How Can I set audio passthrough? - rikardo1979 - 2013-05-29
yes I know what you saying but again the answer is same
All HD audio formats are out in lover formats so only DD or DTS
RE: How Can I set audio passthrough? - Martin_Andersen - 2013-05-29
OK but do yo know if it can play FLAC in 192kHz/24bit resolution.
Re: How Can I set audio passthrough? - rikardo1979 - 2013-05-29
not sure if I have a flac with this specs to test.
Any sample you could provide?

I got one, how can I send it to you?

thanks for the sample, great one
unfortunately this file does not play on RPi, or it does but like in slow mode, I would say 1/4 of BPM what it should
It sounds really weird and it is unusable at all.
I have tested this on XBian with pass through HDMI -> ONKYO TX-NR905 which detects the out as PCM (as it should I suppose)
edit: I think that Mr. popcornmix would give us an answer and better explanation for this
RE: How Can I set audio passthrough? - Martin_Andersen - 2013-05-29
In that case my system set up is OK, and that's bad, because I have never heard Hotel California in such a laid back version.
I hope that Mr. popcornmix can find an answer to this.

if someone's interested her is a good source of all kind of samples for testing

im not sure but I think that none of the 24-BIT files are actually out as 24-BIT but instead just 16-BIT. thoses plays (fine) up to 24BIT/96kHz, anything higher than this is unusable as I mentioned before
RE: How Can I set audio passthrough? - Martin_Andersen - 2013-05-30
Is there a system that can run on my RPi that can do what I want?
