[Alsa-user] Multi-channel audio out of a Zotac ION over HDMI
|
From: Mark de R. <mar...@gm...> - 2009-09-30 21:46:44

I give up, I have tried everything that I can find on this topic without any
success.
Getting audio out of HDMI was relatively simple but getting anything more
than stereo is proving challenging. I have upgraded my Alsa
dirvers/libs/utils to the latest release v1.0.21 so I have the latest NVidia
HDA drivers which include 8ch support. I modified the code to change the
Info string to be sure that 8ch was being used instead of the 2ch version
(can be seen when doing an aplay -l)
Under Linux I have used speaker-test -c6 -Dhdmi and XBMC, both only produce
stereo from 5.1 based sources.
I have tested this box with a install of Windows 7 RC and was able to get
5.1 audio so I am happy that it can work with my setup.
Any help much appreciated, dump of alsa-info.sh below.
Thanks
Mark
