I've successfully setup my audio to go through the digital out on my shuttle box for Live TV and Recorded Programs. I now want to use SPDIF with xine so that my DVD's will work with 5.1 surround DTS in conjunction with my Sony receiver.

I read several posts and also followed the KnoppWiki. Under XineDVDHowTo is said to simply select Pass Through under the xine menu. I did that with no luck. The KW also said to modify two lines in my .xine/config file under DigitalAudioHowto.

I couldn't find those particular files (there were several that were similar).


The following are the different combo's i've used within Mythsetup:



I read that alsa was needed for DTS playback so I tried to force alsa, still didn't help.

Any suggestions?

For some reason the movies I tried were not encoded with AC3 and that's why no sound was coming out of xine.

SOLVED.
