Is there any way to get non-DTS/DD content to upmix to output in digital format?
I have a HT-AS720 receiver that handles the digital output from XBMC Live (set to digital audio, default) fine for all content that is encoded in DTS or DD and gets passed through the optical out. That works fine when I set alsamixer correctly and switch XBMC to digital out.
However, when it's all set to digital, any content *not* encoded with DTS or DD doesn't play. If I leave the XBMC box alone and switch the receiver surround mode to PLII or anything else (while leaving the input as digital optical), then nothing works. If I switch everything over to analog, I get sound from everything fine, but obviously without any channel separation or the obvious clarity that comes from the all-digital end to end system.
Is there any way of "upmixing" non-DTS/DD content to such on the fly in XBMC under Ubuntu?
