I'm assuming it's early days in the multichannel PCM audio environment on these boxes, but can anyone tell me if the VIX image does or will, in the future, support PCM multichannel properly on the Gigablue Quad Plus? I'm just not sure of the capabilities of the MIPS SoC with regard to HDMI audio. The left rear and right rear channels are mapped at lower volume to the front left and right channels respectively. The centre channel is distributed equally to left and right front as is the SUB channel. The indicator on my a/v amplifier indicates 5.1 PCM audio ok, but everything is being mapped to the front speakers by the OpenMIPS media player. If I play my 5.1 multichannel FLACs they are downsampled to 48kHz also. My amplifier (Onkyo SR785) is capable of 192kHz multichannel PCM audio. I'm finding if I play any stereo FLACs recorded at 96kHz or 88.2kHz or higher than they are downsampled to 48kHz. I've set my OpenMIPS A/V sound settings to multichannel PCM and turned off any downmixing/conversion to ac3/DTS etc. They play fine in xbmc on Openelec on my ION2 HTPC (after a long gestation period where nothing PCM multichannel worked on linux!). I have quite a collection of multichannel FLAC audio sourced from my SACD and Audio DVD disks. I'm using a Quad Plus on OpenMIPS image at the moment and I also saw info about multichannel support on their GIT. 46kHz, which is further divided by 64 to determine the PCM. Guys, I've seen references in the release notes about multichannel PCM support (over HDMI) in VIX. I2S (Inter-IC Sound) is a serial protocol for transferring analog audio signals as a digital data.
