Hi

Thought I'd post here and see if anyone has any ideas.


I'm running XBMC on an ATV1 (Crystalbuntu).


At the moment, I am using RCA (analog) output for audio to route to me old-ish (but still good/powerful) amp.

With analog out, I can get digital audio to play (Dolby Digital, DTS) where it downmixes.

For some strange reason though, movies with MP3 audio and anything non-digital just won't play!

I've seen this mentioned by people who have the same problem but use optical output. The solutions regard how to make optical output the default. This doesn't suit me since I need RCA/analog output.


Why would digital sound downmix nicely, but not ordinary non-surround audio?

Is this an ALSA issue?


Any help with this would be appreciated

Jon

Same question here.
Actually, I am considering getting into crystalbuntu but I need to know before taking the dive that I can use the analog stereo rca jacks for all sounds on my local media, a lot of it with mp3 soundtracks. I'm using HDMI->DVI for the video and I also have a very nice legacy amp with only 2ch analog stereo capability.
