Why not all my videos work??? - oron.shvartz - 2009-07-31

Hello,
I have a problem when I play ac3 movies via XBMC everything is ok but when I play stereo movies I have sound only via analog output.

I'm using XBMC on ubuntu 9.04
my receiver is connected to my computer with SPDIF & analog outputs

my question is how can I watch stereo (analog) movies and still here them via my SPDIF output??

thanks!

Strange thing is that I too use s/pdif out for XBMC but I've no problems w/ stereo... I always thought that if one sets Linux and xbmc to use dig. out then analogue out is sort of disabled. For stereo too... You may want to fiddle around a bit in the Volume Control window in Linux (gnome-volume-control) and XBMC's audio settings... Oo

I have been playing with the settings for days now.


PCM sound goes through the analog output and other formats go through the SPDIF.
can anyone explain it?

Maybe this is the same as your problem?
