Not sure if you need to use plughw, is hw:1,1 maybe better for going strait to the sound hardware?.
Already done that. That was just a typeo in my original post. Most audio gets passed through sound card s/pdif out to AMP fine except when I try to play 24bit/96kHz FLAC files I get "failed to initialize audio hardware" No idea why XBMC can't handle these types of audio files. Seems the only format I find XBMC can't handle at the moment.
I was wondering can XBMC actually handle 24bit 96kHz Flac files. Either 2 channel stereo or 5.1 multicahnnel?
Yes, but my filles come out as 16bit, 48kHz
Have you tried this sound autput settings?
Sound; Custom
Custom: "hdmi-remap"
Passthrough: HDMI (ALSA)
$ sudo nano ~/.asoundrc (and enter the code( (leave the file /etc/asound.conf empty)
Code:
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave.pcm hdmi-remap
}
pcm.hdmi-remap {
type route
slave.pcm hdmi

You can check out if AudioEngine is for you, have to compile xbmc yourself to test it out
