Hello list ;-) I have a "stupid" 5.1 system from Hercules which don't work perfectly in the sense, that when I connect it to a SBlive with a coaxial connexion it works (I can hear lots of noise, but my cable is very bad), my receiver goes in Dolby Digital mode with Dolby Digital signal and go back to Stereo mode without Dolby Digital signal: fine with SBlive.
Unfortunately, my motherboard has an integrated intel8x0 with optical SPDIF, and I can't by any way play any Dolby Digital signal with it, I can only hardly plays with the http://bitstreamout.sourceforge.net/ which forward the signal from DVB and sent it to the soundcard SPDIF, then my receiver turns in Dolby Digital on Dolby Digital signal, and stay in this mode even after the end of the Dolby Digital signal... and then refuse to play anything at all??? And even worse: I have a Digital 7.1 card, with it I cannot put my receiver in 5.1 at all??? I just copy an expert, Dr. Werner Fink, as he spoke in the [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list about a problem with AC3overDVB: "As long as the hardware on the DVB cards are not able to put the 16bit none audio PCM data stream into a 32bit none audio S/P-DIF transport stream all receivers which uses the bit flags of the S/P-DIF transport stream for identifying none audio loose. All S/P-DIF data get from the DVB card to not have the none audio bit set. AFAIK this is a hardware bug (or better this is the information I've got from TT) ..." Is there such "limitation" with either my integrated intel8x0 or with the cs46xx card or??? Or is it only ALSA limitation (for example, with the Digifire 7.1 it works under windows...)?
