Hi there,

My apologies upfront but I'm new to xbmc and a bit of a noob.

I've installed xbmc live Dharma beta 2 on a EEE Box 1501 and it works perfectly except I cant get any file with DTS on it to play sound. All other video/audio files work perfectly.

my 1501 is connected to my TV via HDMI, and I use a digital optical cable to connect the TV to the dvd home theater speaker system (its a Panasonic SA-PT170, which is DTS capable).

I know this is just some setting I havent set correctly so any advice would be greatly appreciated!

In xbmc live my audio settings are as follows:

Audio Output : HDMI
Speaker Config: 5.1
Dolby Digital capable receiver: ON
DTS capable receiver: ON
Audio output device: hdmi
Passthrough output device: hdmi

Again I apologise for my noobness as I am new to home theatre setups. XBMC live is a great product and kudos to the developers!

Cheers

Hi there,

Dolby Digital/AC3 sound is working ok?

If only DTS isn't working, maybe your TV isn't able to passthrough DTS.

You might want to check the specs of your panasonic all in one again - it only supports dts for the builtin dvd player, not external devices. Panasonic are (as are a lot of other manufacturers) very misleading on these things. They typically only support stereo for external devices.
