Apple TV 2 4.1.1 XBMC 10.0-7 (i think (ran apt update today)) Receiver = Yamaha RX-V1900
TV = Panasonic Viera THP50VT20A
Setup that does NOT work:
Apple TV2 > HDMI > Panasonic TV > Optical > Receiver
XBMC setting playing .MKV file:
HDMI
5.1
AC3 on (Causes hi pitched digital static)
AC3 off (Center channel outputs to right speaker)
Setup that Does work:
Apple TV2 > HDMI > Panasonic TV (For Picture only)
Apple TV2 > Optical > Receiver (For Sound)
XBMC setting playing .MKV file:
Optical
5.1
AC3 on (Reveicer now correctly detects Dolby Digital Signal Center channel outputs to Center Speaker correctly )
There is clearly and issue with HDMI passing the AC3 to the TV and back out to the receiver but not sure if it's the TV or XBMC
EDIT: Dont think it's the TV becasue the tv speakes also reproduce the digital static when XBMC is in HDIM mode and AC3 on and the TV will play dolby digital from a ps3 or xbox 360 over hdmi so XBMC must be the issue. Can we get an XBMC developer to fix this in the next update ?
