Hi, when i play a dolby digital movie works fine, but dts movies haven't audio. Sounds a crash at the beggining and nothing more. It's an Ion2 gpu and only use hdmi, no spdif or home cinema system, just xbmc -> hdmi -> tv
Please help me!
Do you have DTS capable receiver checked in the Settings->System->Audio Output section? If so, uncheck it, as it's trying to send the full DTS audio stream to your TV, which probably can't handle it. With it unchecked, XBMC will downmix to stereo. Most likely your TV can handle AC3 (Dolby Digital) audio, but not DTS. My LG LCD is the same way. I can feed it AC3 multi-channel audio, and it will downmix to stereo and output through the TV speakers. DTS multi-channel audio to my TV just results in silence.
