How to fix a range of sounds problems in Linux / Ubuntu and enable Dolby / DTS over SPDIF
Sep 17th
For the record I am trying to persuade Ubuntu 10.04 to spit out Dolby ac3 compressed digital signal via the SPDIF at the back of my Asus R1F tablet laptop. The spdif works out of the box!! An amazing achievement! However, I cant for the life of my persuade any content to be sent to my receiver as Dolby Digital. I have not quite given up yet but the answer still eludes me. The SPDIF will only send a sterio signal and will only reproduce a 5.1 setup when the compressed stream to sent to an external receiver. As far as I am aware there is no way to encode information on the fly and then send as 5.1.. which is a shame. I have the alc6660vd chip in the R1F.
