Generate true 5.1 channel surround sound output
Authored by: gil on Feb 21, '09 08:42:39AM

For what it is worth, I appreciate this hint. I have been looking for a solution to enable true 6-channel output through the SPDIF port. Not for video playback (since it's already AC3/DTS), but for gaming. Using the hint (with slight modifications), I can finally output surround sound in games like World of Warcraft.

Thanks :-)

Generate true 5.1 channel surround sound output

Yes, I agree! I did found this solution with AC3jack before but I did miss some documentation how to set this up. Now I found it here,...
As I could see, I did it right, but I can't test it because the lack of an A/V receiver. I will buying a receiver as soon I have a confirmation about the feasibility.
I do need a realtime encoder to monitoring out of LogicPro, when I mixing surround. But I'm still afraid, that this solution is not what I'm really looking for because of the cpu-load and eventually latency.

I would be much more amused, if I could find a 'Dolby Digital Live' (DDL) or 'DTS connect' USB or Firewire card for the mac. It makes me angry, that cards like that exists since 2005 for the PC but still nothing for the mac!
