keith Wrote:Good news! Thanks to Lord_Pall on IRC, he found a '16bit output' option buried in the ATV2 that seems to fix AC3/DTS Passthrough for the nightly build on 4.3.2.
So all you 4.3.x folks, upgrade to 4.3.2.
In the AppleTV menu, just go to Settings>Audio & Video>Audio Output and change it from "Auto" to "16 bit" (thx DN38416)
In addition I'm happy to report success with AudioEngine builds on ATV2 with AC3/DTS on 4.2.1! OSX is still a little buggy.
Remember if you want to join the AE testing team (and have ac3/dts capabilities) please join #xbmc-ae!
Nice, AC3 & DTS working again here with 4.3.2 and latest nightly.
Video is still choppy in WEB-DL rips but my other files seem fine, maybe some issues with the way it's encoded, doesn't matter if post-processing is on or off. Example file info if it helps at all:
