Hi,
I've recently just bought myself a Zotac ID42, which I've connected to my Sony BDV-E370, but seem to be having problems with the sound. I'm running Generic.i386-2.99.2 build of OpenElec.
I initially tried setting the sound to the following:
Audio Output : Optical/Coax
Speaker Configuration : 5.1
Audio Output Device : HDA Intel PCH, ALC892 Digital S/PDIF
Passthrough output device : HDA Intel PCH, ALC892 Digital S/PDIF
Using this set-up, I don't get any sound at all, looking alsamixer S/PDIF, S/PDIF Default, S/PDIF 1, S/PDIF 2, and S/PDIF 3 are all set to 00 (I've unmuted everything, even microphones just to make sure
), but still get no sound.
Changing the settings to
Audio Output : HDMI
Speaker Configuration: 5.1
Audio Output Device: HDA NVidia, SNY SONY TV on HDMI
Passthrough output Device : HDA NVidia, SNY SONY TV on HDMI
I get sound, but there's no centre channel, or subwoofer channel when playing back any DTS or AAC files (I've confirmed this using the files linked to in this forum, so can rule out a dodgy video file). I've attached a copy of the output from aplay -l, and aplay -L below.
I was originally running OpenElec on a RaspberryPi, and upgraded mainly for the improved sound capabilities, so any help would be greatly appreciated
Mike
