I've been searching this all day, and have yet to come up with a definitive answer.
I've got an Acer Revo RL70 - AMD Fusion E450-based device. I've installed XBMCBuntu on it, and it pretty much "just works" out of the box.
The one big issue is Multichannel PCM over HDMI. My trawling through google and this site have come up with lots of people with lots of problems with audio on AMD-based devices, but a lot of these seem more fundamental problems than my issue, and are possibly historical. I have found another thread relating to OpenELEC (here) that seems to imply this just isn't possible yet.
So, my question to any owners of AMD kit, or anyone who happens to know:
I can passthrough 5.1 DTS and AC3 without issue. If I have multi-channel (e.g. FLAC 5.1), then it's just output as Stereo. Can anyone do better than this? My old ION-based Revo used to do it perfectly, but it died a death...
Thanks!
Charlie
