No surround sound on XMBC - deereboy88 - 2013-04-21 Apple TV Gen 1 w/CrytalHD video card XMBC 11.0 - Eden Optical output to Yamaha Amp HDMI output to TV I have been using the setup decsribed above and I have never been able to make surround sound work in XMMBC. When I power up the Apple TV, the intro plays in 5.1 and when I watch movies downloaded from iTunes it plays in 5.1 as well. However, I have never been able to get 5.1 sound from xmbc. I checked all settings and everywhere there is an option for 5.1, I have selected it and AC3 passthrough is enabled. Any thoughts on why this isn't working? Thanks! RE: No surround sound on XMBC - TechLife - 2013-04-21 Are you using crystalbuntu? RE: No surround sound on XMBC - deereboy88 - 2013-04-21 No, I am not RE: No surround sound on XMBC - Kib - 2013-04-21 ** Thread moved to OS X support. RE: No surround sound on XMBC - deereboy88 - 2013-04-22 I tried it on crystalbuntu (frodo), and the result was the same, 2 channel sound only. The movie I tested was Hangover II on 1 channel. Not sure if any of that helps, but thought I would pass it along. Thanks RE: No surround sound on XMBC - Ned Scott - 2013-04-22 No 1Channel support on XBMC.org (see forum rules (wiki)). Does this happen on movie files that are from other sources? RE: No surround sound on XMBC - deereboy88 - 2013-04-22 That was just an example, its not a 1channel issue. Tried youtube as well, no 5.1 there either RE: No surround sound on XMBC - Ned Scott - 2013-04-22 Probably because those files only contain a stereo audio track. RE: No surround sound on XMBC - HenryFord - 2013-04-22 Get a decent test file and test it with that: http://www.demo-world.eu/trailers/high-definition-trailers.php RE: No surround sound on XMBC - deereboy88 - 2013-04-23 That plays 5.1 just fine. I guess the problem is not with xmbc. Thanks for your help. |
