In the sound settings menu, if I have it sett to SPDIF/Optical.. then it should send untouched digital to my receiver should it not? And if I select "analog" then it converts it to PCM and my receiver only has to amplify and not decode. If I understand that correctly, then why can I change settings like speaker config and audio output device when I've selected SPDIF/OPTICAL. Shouldn't those options be greyed out?
I couldn't for the life of me understand why SPDIF wasn't working. The only way I got sound from my receiver was if I set XBMC to analog and that way it sounded awful. Setting it to SPDIF/OPTICAL and I got nothing, until I tried changing the output device to a setting that said "direct" something.
