Hello, all; I'm running Fedora Core 6 (with updates from Fedora and
ATRPMS) on a new x86_64 machine with an nForce 570 motherboard chipset,
and am passing SPDIF to an external receiver. Stereo's working fine,
but I can't get AC3 (or presumably DTS, though I haven't tried)
passthrough to work.
mplayer gives an error (for both ac3 audio files and DVDs) if I specify
"-ao alsa" (or alsa:device=iec958 or alsa:device=spdif), and if I
specify "-ao alsa:device=default", produces noise (in stereo); MythTV
with AC3 passthrough enabled and video-as-timebase disabled produces
similar noise -- though both work if I have them downsample to stereo
PCM. "speaker-test -c6" plays sound on the two front channels, with
silence on others. Everything I've tried produces either 2-channel
stereo, noise, or silence.
I *have* successfully passed AC3 audio from a different machine to this
receiver in the past, so it's not a decoding issue. I'm stuck; any
ideas? Is this chipset simply not fully supported?
I've attached all of the random data I can think of below; I'd be happy
to provide more info...
