| Post subject: | Getting 5.1 sound on DVD´s |
Hi I have a Audogory 2 card in my mythtv box. ANd sound works fine from it. How ever, i cant get 5.1 sound to work, when i play DVD, are theyre anything special u need to do? I right clicked in Xine, and chose audio, and chose 5.1 instead of 2.1. Shouldent that work just fine ? I only get sound here on the front speakers, nothing on center and back? |

In think you need to select the right sound device for xine to use. I think the setting you changed only changed what sound xine outputs to the sound device, but if the sound device can't handle 5.1 it wont help. When I was playing around with surround I used something like ALSA:surround51. Never tried DVD thought, don't have a DVD drive on the machine. I played Dolby Digital trailers using mplayer. |

G'day, I play DVD's from my harddrive, mainly kids ones so they don't destory the original. In file /home/muthtv/.xine/config I have amongst other stuff. Code: # alsa mixer device
# string, default: PCM #audio.device.alsa_mixer_name:PCM # sound card can do mmap # bool, default: 0 #audio.device.alsa_mmap_enable:0 # device used for 5.1-channel output # string, default: iec958:AES0=0x6,AES1=0x82,AES2=0x0,AES3=0x2 #audio.device.alsa_passthrough_device:iec958:AES0=0x6,AES1=0x82,AES2=0x0,AES3=0x2 # device used for 4-channel output # string, default: plug:surround40:0 audio.device.alsa_surround40_device:surround40 # device used for 5.1-channel output # string, default: plug:surround51:0 audio.device.alsa_surround51_device:surround51 # speaker arrangement # { Mono 1.0 Stereo 2.0 Headphones 2.0 Stereo 2.1 Surround 3.0 Surround 4.0 Surround 4.1 Surround 5.0 Surround 5.1 Surround 6.0 Surround 6.1 Surround 7.1 Pass Through }, default: 1 audio.output.speaker_arrangement:Pass Through # offset for digital passthrough # numeric, default: 0 #audio.synchronization.passthrough_offset:0 I think you needs to modify something in there, I did but I can't remember what. I then take the spdif output to my decoder I am using a soundblaster though, but I assume it is the same. I think you make these changes in xine if you get the menus up. Not sure if that helps but it might point you in the right direction. stinga |

When I was playing around with surround I used something like ALSA:surround51. Never tried DVD thought, don't have a DVD drive on the machine. I played Dolby Digital trailers using mplayer. tryed to go through the menu´s again, dident find anything that would let me select sound device? also i am running it analog, so no spif here |

I'm running analog too, using the 3 jacks of the soundcard. But I have never run xine. |

No, kids PS2... My Myth-box doesn't have a DVD drive. Not even a CD drive. It's just used to record TV-shows. |

I am using an Audigy and use the analog 5.1 connections. To get mplayer to run with 5.1 add this to your command line: Code: -channels 6 To test my theory I downloaded one of these: http://www.cinenow.com/uk/vobtrailer.php3 and run the file from a command line, as this will tell you how many channels the file is using. This is what I did:
2. open a terminal screen within X 3. ran Code: mplayer -channels 6 /myth/video/xxx.vob 4. Let the trailer run 5. Listen very carefully for the audio throughout the video 6. Press ESC to close mplayer 7. Check the mplayer output as this will confirm that it was using 6 channels. Please don't leave KnoppMyth just because you can't get the audio working properly, as no matter what distro you will use you will still have the same problem, be it Debian all gentoo. They both use the ALSA driver so not much is different. |

Code: -channels 6 To test my theory I downloaded one of these: http://www.cinenow.com/uk/vobtrailer.php3 and run the file from a command line, as this will tell you how many channels the file is using. This is what I did:
2. open a terminal screen within X 3. ran Code: mplayer -channels 6 /myth/video/xxx.vob 4. Let the trailer run 5. Listen very carefully for the audio throughout the video 6. Press ESC to close mplayer 7. Check the mplayer output as this will confirm that it was using 6 channels. Please don't leave KnoppMyth just because you can't get the audio working properly, as no matter what distro you will use you will still have the same problem, be it Debian all gentoo. They both use the ALSA driver so not much is different. Tnx, what about for Xine then? Mplayer is "only" used (unless you change it) to play xvid,mpeg and so on, and not dvd´s ? Also the idea by trying gentoo was becaus i could have gotten the idea that say way or somehow my sound is installed the wrong way or something. You if look on my picture i cant mute center and so on. on other computers that run linux on a 5.1 sound card there is a mute option? |

I have the same problem with ALSA in that I can not mute the PCM channels just like yourself, I don't get it either. It would probably be a limitation in the driver I suspect or in the settings file for the sound card, either way, you can still put the volume down to 0 to stop the sound coming out. What you have to ask yourself when comparing with someone else is, are they using the exact some sound card as me, do they have the same version of the driver that I have and if they are using the same sound card as me, is it the same chipset. In version A30 of KnoppMyth cesman has set DVD playback to mplayer so by default mine setup uses mplayer for DVDs. If you had a look at the Xine website you would have found this in the documentation: Quote: Can xine produce 4-/5-channel surround audio output? Yep, it can do that using OSS or ALSA drivers, provided that the driver supports it. However, since xine cannot detect if there are actually speakers connected to the additional channels, you'll have to activate that feature manually. You can do this either in the config dialog while xine is running (press the config button on the xine panel and go to the AUDIO tab) or have it the complicated way by editing the config file yourself which is located in your home directory in .gxine or .xine: audio.output.speaker_arrangement:Surround 4.0 audio.output.speaker_arrangement:Surround 4.1 audio.output.speaker_arrangement:Surround 5.1 |
