Okey, figured out that my "real" question is:

I know have sound on .mkv files trough SPDIF/optical
(thx to HaggySmile)
Code:
xbmc default device: plug:iec958:CARD=S51,DEV=0
xbmc passthrough device: iec958:CARD=S51,DEV=0

But i dont have anysound on xvid/divx & mp3 Oo
What is wrong?
How do i make a debug logfile?

EDIT-END

Hi,

Is it possible to use more then one output for sound?
(why i need more then one, only .mkv and ac3 xvid/divx gets sound when im using plug:iec958:CARD=S51,DEV=0 to get sound on regular xvid/divx and mp3 i need to change to something else, maybe theres another solution? help?)

atm in xbmc:
Code:
xbmc default device: plug:iec958:CARD=S51,DEV=0
xbmc passthrough device: iec958:CARD=S51,DEV=0

So my question is, can i do something like this:
Code:
xbmc default device: plug:iec958:CARD=S51,DEV=0 & plug:surround51:CARD=S51,DEV=0
xbmc passthrough device: iec958:CARD=S51,DEV=0 & surround51:CARD=S51,DEV=0
not directly from within xbmc, but with some alsa magic. though this seems like a workaround to your problem. could you please pastebin a debug logfile while trying to play an mp3 file with those exact settings you mentioned?
how to i make a debug logfile?
Not sure how your hardware is configured, and why you want two separate digital devices to output... I've configured my HDMI to play all avi/divx/mp3 as well as a pass-thru device for DD/DTS.

In your home directory, create a file called .asoundrc with this in it:
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave {
pcm "hdmi"
}
}

Then in xbmc audio settings:
Audio Output: Digital
-Dobly Digital Capable Receiver: checked
-DTS Capable Receiver: checked
Audio Output Device: default
Passthrough Device: plug:hdmi
Downmix Multichannel audio to steroe: checked

With this set I am able to play all passthru digital audio (DD51/DTS), as well as get all mp3/avi and xbmc sounds to work.


Hope this helps.
i cant use hdmi cuz my surround system have no hdmi input. but it as optical. (logitech z5500)
