xine sound issue

tekmorph · 12-06-2004, 01:44 PM

Hello. Xine will play only partial audio(like play background noise only and not play dialogue)?
I use a PCI C-Media, pretty generic card but is 5.1 capable. I have not messed with any config files, but have set through xine the speaker arrangement to 5.1. The devices used for output are:
|device used for 5.1-channel output| | alsa_a52_device(*)|
iec958:AES0=0x6.AES1=0x82,AES2=0x0,AES#=0x2

device used for 5.1 channel output| |alsa_surround51_device(*)|
plug:surround51:0

Thank you.

Not sure what version of Xine you have, but with my PCI C-Media, I get *full working* 5.1 output to my stereo system through the optical-out cable.

I have the following line added to my ~/.xine/config

audio.a52_pass_through:1

Hope this helps.
