XBMC and X7 sound settings issue

[ididid]

Hello,


I have the following setup:
My neo X7 is connected with HDMI to the TV. The TV is connected to a Samsung sound-bar using optical wire.


In android sounds devices I have 6 options:

• RK29_RT5616 - which works but seems to be analog.
• ROCKCHIP-SPDIF - which does not work - there are no clicking sounds of android.
• RK29_RT5616 & ROCKCHIP-SPDIF - works ok.
• ROCKCHIP-SPDIF PASSTHROUGH - does not work (no clicking sounds either).
• RK29_RT5616 PASSTHROUGH - works and seems to provide better sounds.

In XBMC I have only two options:

• Analog - and then all the options of DTS,AAC and AC3 are disabled.
• Optical/Coax - which I chose.

What should I choose for my setup if I would like to enjoy surround(ish) sound experience with DTS and Dolby Digital 5.1 videos (I know it will be downgraded to 2.0 - but still the sound is fuller and richer).


thanks.

Update your fw to 010 and latest XBMC.
Your choice of settings look like the ones I had with fw 008, before upgrading to 010.

If your soundbar is compatible with DTS/AC3 then the RK29_RT5616 PASSTHROUGH is probably the best choice.
