Paolo, When I play a 48 KHz DTS file, my HT receiver displays "PCM 48 KHz"; when I play a 44.1 KHz FLAC file, it displays "PCM 44.1 KHz", so my SPDIF output seems to be sending the correct sample rate. Interestingly, when I use mplayer to decode my DTS test file and play via SPDIF, it comes out distorted. If I tell mplayer to use DTS passthrough on the same file, it sounds perfect. I tested playing the same files as decoded PCM via the optical SPDIF- out on my laptop (Mac OSX, not ALSA) into the same receiver and it played perfect, so its nothing on the receiver/HT end. Any other ideas? Thanks, Tom ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
