Hi there,

Has anyone successfully configured surround sound to output to an AV amp? I am trying to play a multi-channel SACD ISO but I have not had any luck so far.

If so, can you please share your settings.

Thanks

Jason

Are you playing through HDMI?
If so, does the HDMI on the QNAP support multichannel? Not all chipsets do on linux.

Thanks Bob for your reply.

If anyone else is interested these settings worked for some SACD ISOs
Audio Device
  hdmi : CARD=PCH, DEV = 1 [ALSA]
  Device Settings = Auto
Output Format
  Output Encoding = None
  Channels = Source Number of channels
Settings
  Bitstreaming = Yes (HDMI)
Advanced
  Auto configure output settings on playback error = No

Thanks to Bob for his help
