- fglrx doesn't support HD audio(DTS HD/MA) yet

Is this 100% true?

It's not working right now, but I'm pretty sure that it used work.
I have a one year old file on my hdd (with DTS-MA) which it definitely worked. (and now it doesn't)
For as long as I can remember, I always enabled all the codecs (I have an Onkyo receiver that supports pretty much everything) and, maybe I'm mistaking, but I remember seeing and bragging with the DTS-MA sign on my receiver.

Yes. It cannot work with the 2 (real) channels AMD is implementing.
DTS and AC3 5.1 will work.

The HDMI of fglrx is like a S/PDIF but with max 48000hz - best on AMD currently is to use the S/PDIF and not the hdmi at all.

In xbmc disable all of the following: DTS-HD, TrueHD, LPCM, Play Stereo on all Speakers and AAC.
Maximum Number of Speakers: 5.1
Boost volume on downmix is allowed.

I'm not giving up just yet. I still think it used to work. I'm not crazy.
Probably before the AudioEngine merge.

@loadrunner:
If you get it working, report back. I think at least 100.000 users would build you a shrine.

No, without joking: Try to play a DTS-MA file and have DTS-HD and TrueHD and LPCM disabled and see what your receiver tells you.

Stuppid me, i forgot to disconnect my second monitor.
Even when its off, its detected, and made my playback choppy, so its fixed now.

The receiver tells me DTS.

But maybe I am crazy. I just tried a pre-AudioEngine XBMC (11) and the file does work, "with everything enabled", but without DTS-MA. (as there is no support for it in 11)
So I'm probably remembering the DTS-MA logo on my receiver from blurays.

The irony in this is that I "upgraded" to XBMC from a LG BD/network player, which works pretty good, exactly for this reason. (it doesn't have support for DTS-MA and DD TrueHD in mkvs)

Artax · 2013-02-04, 11:45

But, really, is there hope to have support for HD audio, sooner or later?

Eden does not support HD audio AT ALL. If it works there, its because there is a DTS core track in there that is played.

@Artax:
If and only if AMD - the guys you bought your hardware - make it possible. We cannot do anything at all to make it working.
