If you only get stereo sound, this can have several reasons. 1. the vob file only has Dolby Digital 2.0. 2. the sound gets resampled by pulseaudio. Totem with gstreamer is not able to pass-through dolby-digital. VLC with "use S/PDIF if possible" and Alsa should work. Make sure that you don't use PulseAudio as output in VLC. I also had to restart VLC to get it working. > Is there a way to get more information about what kind of stream is > sended by the system through the digital output ? You can use this file as test. http://www.lynnepublishing.com/surround/www_lynnemusic_com_surround_test.ac3 I hope this information is helpful Regards Achim -- S/Pdif / digital output not available in pulseaudio https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/205717 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
