Can Not get 5.1
#1
have a Zotac ZBOX HD-ID11-U Intel Atom D510 and I am feeding the tv with the HDMI output and from there I am feeding a Sony 5.1 receiver. (The Somy does not have HDMI inputs)

If I load the ZBox with XBMC 10.1 Windows version, I get sound on the tv and 5.1 pass through to the Sony.

If I load XBMC Linux on the ZBox, I get sound on the TV and it passes on to the Sony but not 5.1

I guess that it is the problem with my asound.conf file.

Can someone give me the right asound file format for this to work


My asound is as follows...............


pcm.!default {
type plug
slave {
pcm both
}
}

pcm.both {
type route
slave {
pcm multi
channels 4
}
ttable.0.0 1.0
ttable.1.1 1.0
ttable.0.2 1.0
ttable.1.3 1.0
}

pcm.multi {
type multi
slaves.a {
pcm tv
channels 2
}
slaves.b {
pcm receiver
channels 2
}
bindings.0.slave a
bindings.0.channel 0
bindings.1.slave a
bindings.1.channel 1
bindings.2.slave b
bindings.2.channel 0
bindings.3.slave b
bindings.3.channel 1
}

pcm.receiver {
type hw
card 0
device 0
channels 2
}

pcm.tv {
type hw
card 1
device 7
channels 2
}
