No need for posting the same question in different topic's...

But did you successfully completed the guide?

The next two files will fix the wrong channel mapping of multi-channel PCM.

sudo wget http://pastebin.com/download.php?i=f5f9654bb -O /etc/asound.conf

sudo wget http://pastebin.com/download.php?i=f2e38265 -O /usr/share/alsa/cards/HDA-Intel.conf


Also it doesn't matter if you got a 5.1 system.

yes I did sudo wget those two lines and it didn't have any errors doing so.

I figured maybe some people would be subscribed to one or the other thread and respond quicker.

@ flomaster.

Make sure you are using at least nvidia driver 256.25. Pcm was broken after 185 then fixed again in 256.25

cheers

harry, I have 256.44 driver updated via the ppa before I had a 195 driver and I only got background sound no center channel. with this new one I get center channel but its being output via my rear left speaker

Only thing i can think of doing it deleting the conf files and downloading again.

If you still have issues after these steps can you provide a sample of the file in question. I dont think i have a file with aac audio.

cheers

ok I'll try that right now and have the wife report back to me, I do it via ssh from work. these files are movie trailers in .MOV format I used CouchPotato to scrape them.

crazy shit...

ok I removed the old config files. I added the new ones and now my center channel seems to have moved to my front left speaker. it was previously coming out of my back left speaker

here is where my trailer came from the 1080P apple one

Are normal ac3, dts movies working correctly? If so then your config is correct. Can you post a trailer somewhere, i cant download from that site.

Edit: To test, disable dolby and dts from audio settings. They will be sent as pcm

cheers

yeah ac3 and dts, dolby digital movies are playing correctly

just had my wife try other trailers and they seem to be working just fine... I wonder whats going on with this particular trailer

I will have to get access to it when I get home I only have putty installed here at work. im not sure how I can get a sample of the file

I wouldn't worry too much about it tbh. If its just one or two files in .mov format it doesn't really matter. I've had times when i start a movie and the channel mappings are wrong. All i do is restart the movie and its fine again. This doesn't happen much but it does happen, i think it has to to with auto adjust refresh rate but i could be wrong.

cheers

funny business indeed center channel went from rear left to front left back to rear left lol all the same file.

well I will just not play that trailer when I have guests over at the house. I was trying to show off the HTPC and XBMC with the trailer feature and I was let down big time. now it should be fixed

meh... still Fubar..


all aac 5.1 center channel is routed out my back left speaker when my audio track displays PCM on my amp...

aac stereo plays just fine

Sad

I'll try this myself tonight. Normally I don't listen to AAC 5.1 but maybe I can reproduce the problem.

success..

I changed my settings to hdmi instead of custom and now my amp displays AAC on 5.1 tracks and audio sounds amazing.

I had added to my asound.conf because I was trrying to get analog out of my head phone jack at the same time as hdmi. And during the process I unknowingly pressed the mute button on my remote. I went into settings and changed from custom to hdmi tried again ....no sound wtf grrr.... hrm may I have muted it. Sure enough it was muted. And alll audio is playing like it should
