I recently bought a Raspberry Pi 2B with a Hifiberry digi board.
I connected the rasp to my receiver via S/PDIF. My receiver is a SONY STR-DB925
Although my receiver is an old one it is capable of receiving and recognizing DTS and AC3 signals.
As long as the sound format is analog everything is working fine. Radio/Movie sounds are normal.
As soon as my receiver detects a digital signal it switches to digital decoding.
The display shows it is decoding digital sounds over 5 speakers, but only the background sounds are heard over my front speakers.
I cannot hear any sound over my surround speakers.
E.g. there are no voices over the center speaker.
In OpenElec I’ve selected the S/PDIF option as output source.
Further I’ve enabled the passthrough option and I also enabled DTS and AC3 support in OpenElec.
What could be the problem?
Is it because my amp is old (although when connected to my DVD player with S/PDIF it plays perfect DTS signals).
I'm running OpenElec version 5.0.8
