Title: QNAP surround
Post by: jason_a69 on November 26, 2016, 12:30:50 pm

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.

It does support multichannel, it's a TS-470 Pro.

Check to make sure that the option "Auto configure output on playback error" under Options->Audio->Advanced is set to no.
Check DSP studio to see if the output formatting is on (it should be off).
Make sure to choose a hardware device in Options-Audio. You should see something like hdmi:.......

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
