Sound on both AVR and TV for some formats

[odoll]

If I'm using OpenELEC on my systems (either ASRock ION330HT or Raspberry Pi) have the problem, that for some formats (e.g. 44.1 kHz, 16 bit stereo, pcm) the sound is hearable via both the AVR and TV. And what it makes even more annoying is that there's a time lag between outputs.

ASRock ION330HT <-hdmi-> Teac AG-D500 <-hdmi-> Samsung LE40B679

First I thought this may be a (passthrough) issue of the Teac AVR, but as this problem does not exist with XBMCbuntu running on the ASRock, I think it's more related to OpenELEC?

It's probably mutli-channel audio (ac3, dts) vs analog audio. Most TV's cant decode/downmix multi channel audio.

Try setting audio output to analog while playing something. (or set output to two channels, this makes XMBC downmix your audio... but that beats the purpose of having an AVR) :-)
