Hello at all,

first of all I am sorry for my bad english, but I want to try explain my Problem:

I have got a Raspberry Pi with XBMC Frodo 12.2.

The XBMC is connected over HDMI on my TV and the TV is connected with my 5.1 Receiver over a Toslink wire.

My Problem is that my TV do not support DTS Audio so that my AC3/DTS Receiver dont get the Signal correctly.

Now the Problem is, if I try to watch a MKV Movie with DTS 5.1 I can`t hear the Voice-Sound but only the Effects.

Have you got any ideas?

I think you specify the "CEC" option to say the device supports DTS even tho it does not!
Not sure why you put that overide.

Toslink does not support multi channel PCM audio.
It sounds like you are trying to ouput 5.1 PCM audio.

You must set speaker layout to 2.0.

If you have DTS passthrough enabled and it is not being passed through, it suggests the TV is reporting it is not supported.
You can override this with (from http://elinux.org/RPi_config.txt)
hdmi_force_edid_audio=1

However TV's that don't support DTS, often won't pass it through either, so this probably won't work.

Yes of course. It does not work with hdmi_force_edid_audio=1.

The is no Audio.

However is there a solution that xbmc decodes the dts Audio to AC3 Audio?
My TV supports AC3 Audio so I can get the 5.1 Sound on my Receiver over him.

Please I want that my Receiver get the real 5.1 Audio

Unfortunately not. Encoding to AC3 would require licensing if done on the GPU and
the ARM is not powerful enough to do this whilst playing audio/video.

So I can only to try to set the speaker layout in XBMC to 2.0 ?

If I do this my receiver gets a 2.0 Signal an distributs the signals on the Boxes right?

But if I get a new Receiver with HDMI Inputs and Outputs can I get then the dts 5.1 Signal?

I can extract the Audio Signal from the HDMI and connect it over a Toslink wire in my receiver over this device:

Is that a Solution?

That's the right option with your current hardware.

Yes. Pi with decode to 5.1 and downmix to 2.0 PCM. That's what receiver will get.

But if I get a new Receiver with HDMI Inputs and Outputs can I get then the dts 5.1 Signal?

Yes

I've not tried, but that claims DTS passthrough support, so yes, I would expect that to work.
