Can someone confirm for me whether it's still not possible to play multichannel AAC audio via spdif/passthrough.
I've got a number of files with multichannel AAC encoding and unless I convert them to AC3 I get an "error initializing audio device" when trying to play them.
My audio settings:
Audio output: digital
Dolby Digital/DTS capable receiver: yes
Audio output device: iec958
Passthrough output device: iec958
Downmix multichannel to stereo: yes
Not sure if the last one should be "no" but it shouldn't make a difference with passthrough I think.
Thanks for any help.
