AC3 passthrough on nForce 570?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



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...
