HDMI Audio Incorrect speaker mapping
#1
Hey guys I finally got HDMI audio to work great on my setup but I have a speaker mapping issue. When I run speaker-test -Dhdmi -c6 -r192000 -FS32_LE, command the front left and right are mapped correctly, but when it outputs the center signal it comes out of the rear right channel instead. Also the LFE signal comes out of the rear left instead of the sub woofer. Is there anyway more me to correct this incorrect speaker mapping?
Help would be appreciated

Thanks

look at the code for /etc/asound.conf here: http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?p=693881&postcount=2

That will only solve the problem for video files. Multichannel flac files will stil be messed up.

I've tried all that. The problem is that xbmc consists of several players. Those players don't agree on the channel order. If you know how to fix this, then please enlighten me.
Currently it's not possible to have correct channel mapping for both video files and audio files at the same time. Please prove me wrong.

With the correct asound.conf (using the route plugin) the only way to get everything working with internal xbmc players is to use DVDPlayer for audio as well as video, or you must re-map all your multichannel flac audio (to work with PAPlayer).

Not to res old old thread: but my linux install crashed so I had to setup xbmc again,

Naturally, xbmc will only do 2.1 for flac files... This is after I edited asound.conf with the following:

pcm.!hdmi-remap {
type asym
playback.pcm {
type plug
slave.pcm "remap-surround71"
}
}

pcm.!remap-surround71 {
type route
slave.pcm "hw:0,3"
ttable {
0.0= 1
1.1= 1
2.4= 1
3.5= 1
4.2= 1
5.3= 1
6.6= 1
7.7= 1
}
}

When I set audio ouput to either plughw:0,3 or hdmi-remap, I still only get 2.1 audio on flac and aac.

Help would be much appreciated!
