[Bug 520157] Re: PulseAudio doesn't allow AC3 output through S/PDIF
AC3 Passthrough was initial supported in Ubuntu 11.10, and with 12.04 we can also set it up using pavucontrol. I am however a little unaware of which client applications that supports this new functionality. ** Changed in: pulseaudio (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/520157 Title: PulseAudio doesn't allow AC3 output through S/PDIF To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/pulseaudio/+bug/520157/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 520157] Re: PulseAudio doesn't allow AC3 output through S/PDIF
The pulseaudio part of this bug has been fixed in Ubuntu 11.10 "Oneiric Ocelot" thanks to the update to pulseaudio 1:1.0-0ubuntu1. Currently, the only client to support passthrough output is the GStreamer PulseAudio plugin. This will be available in the next release (0.10.31) of gst-plugins-good. Once this is installed, you should be able to have passthrough output just work with Totem and most other players that use playbin2. See http://pulseaudio.org/wiki/Passthrough for more info on passthrough configuration. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/520157 Title: PulseAudio doesn't allow AC3 output through S/PDIF To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/pulseaudio/+bug/520157/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

For mp3 to work directly with alsa add this in /etc/asound.conf
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave {
pcm "iec958"
rate 48000
format S16_LE
}
}
Resamples the stream to 48000 khz and puts it in "little indian" format so the
receiver can pick it up.
In smplayer choose "AC3/DTS pass-through S/PDIF.
SMplayer should play all soundformats now.
Rhytmbox should play.
No sounds threw pulse.
IEC958 in pulse is shit.
Skype won't work. Uses pulse audio. Which dislikes a digital stream to your
receiver.
No system sound either. Nice and quiet.
Don't think support will be implemented for a long time to.

[Bug 520157] Re: PulseAudio doesn't allow AC3 output through S/PDIF
I did some testing on 10.10. No surround sound on S/PDIF no matter what I've tried. VLC gives static noise instead of surround sound. mplayer with -ao alsa -ac hwac3 gives nothing, just silence, using Alsa directly in any media player with possibility of S/PDIF passthrough gives silence. Only using pulseaudio defaults gives just stereo output and system sounds working, but on very low volume level.

[Bug 520157] Re: PulseAudio doesn't allow AC3 output through S/PDIF
Just for information to those who encounter this trouble: you can get AC3/DTS output working on VLC and SMplayer by using ALSA directly: - VLC : chose "use S/PDIF if possible" and "Alsa" as output. If you've got several sound card, then chose "show settings" -> "ALL" at the bottom, chose Audio->output modules->ALSA and then chose the correct sound card. - SMplayer : open preferences->General->Audio. Then chose the correct alsa sound card (not just alsa) and enable "AC3/DTS passtrough S/PDIF". I can't get it working with Totem even choosing ALSA output on gstreamer-properties because gstreamer output still is redirected to pulseaudio doing this. -- PulseAudio doesn't allow AC3 output through S/PDIF https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/520157 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
