Full Version: Mono AAC audio 'bug'

I have 2 videos in my library that are mono/aac and neither of them will play audio out of the optical audio output.

according to trac ticket 10203 from 3 months ago, the solution is to set speaker configuration to 2.0 or 2.1 (even if you have a 5.1 system) - apparently pass-through will still work.

Not sure if you'd call this a bug, however...this seems like a kludge and most people who have 5.1 systems will feel odd about telling xbmc they have a 2.0 set up. This solution does work but it is counter-intuitive to say the least Smile

a 10mb sample of a mono/aac file can be downloaded here for testing. (remember, the problem is with optical audio out only).

Hopefully someone searching for 'mono aac' will stumble on this and find a temporary fix.
