Do you have a link that explains "should pass through the 5.1 channels"?
Hi Tim,
Sorry for not replying sooner...
I cant actually find the forum post about ALSA/MPD being capable of it, but, the posts were on the HiFiBerry Forum.
I found this post regarding 5.1 channel output through the Digi+ when using OpenElec:
https://www.hifiberry.com/build/document...erry-digi/
And from HiFiBerry themselves:
Quote:While the hardware is able to output DTS/Dolby Digital, software has to be adapted to support this. We will support the developers to implement this.
So, it looks possible, but maybe a lot of software work to get it done.
Interestingly, I thought I2S is only 2 channel (Pulse Code modulated)... which is how Moode is connecting to these Digi Boards.. right?
Thanks again,
Rob
