Hello guys, I have some questions:
1) In previous releases (in part 2 of this thread) there was a comment about audio channels.
"no_resample_audio is now a default, and hdmi_stream_channels is switched based on audio content. For the time being when using passthrough, 2.0 speaker layout should continue to be used (you will still get 5.1 with AC3/DTS)."
Is this still true for the latest releases?
2) It's possible to decode Dolby TrueHD on the PI. Passthrough is impossible, but PCM is possible. How to choose software decode of Dolby TrueHD (5.1) over passthrough of normal Dolby (nonHD). I would like to try this.
3) Will the software decode work with channels 2.0 but output at 5.1? I mean this in connection with question 1, because 2.0 is/was needed for passthrough.
Thanks!
