810 Alpha 7 No DVD playback sound

[jimbodude]

I have a similar issue with the onboard audio of the M2N.

In the web admin, go to wizard --> Devices --> Media Directors.  On the media director in question, select "Manual configuration" in the dropdown for audio output, and activate AC-3 pass-through.  You will need to force reload the router at a minimum to apply this change, sometimes a reboot is needed.

With this configuration, I get AC-3 over fiber for all videos and DVDs, and I have stereo over fiber for music - but no sound at all in MythTV (live or recorded).  In some cases I am able to make the change without a reboot - in these cases I do have sound in Myth.

I have not found where the configuration is lacking, nor have I determined what the audio output "Manual configuration" setting actually does.

Hi

Cool thanks I will give that a go and let you one?
With Myth have you tried to activate AC3 in your myth setup?

Yes, I tried that switch - no change.  I don't have any AC-3 streams to play from Myth anyway.

Thanks again

Do you have audio in Myth over digital with it configured like that?

[fastie81]

I don't know yet as I need to get myth working first..
After my update my myth died and aldo my data disk does not want to mount..
Will get back to you on this one..
Sorry
Chris

I expect you won't.  I do not.  There is something wrong with the way sound devices on the m2n and m3n get configured for digital out.  I haven't had the time to dive into it.

Well I will see if I get time and will report back if I get anywhere..
But thanks for your help on this..
