Useful Kodi (XBMC) ThingsA few things I have found useful while running Kodi (XBMC) Enabling Digital Audio S/PDIF Pass –Through Via HDMI On DisplayPortHow to send digital S/PDIF surround sound to an HDMI device via the DisplayPort on a Dell Latitude E6500. Anyhow, whatever help is welcome! Thanks!Ĭomment on this article (no HTML, max 1200 characters): I know that linux is capable of bit streaming this because I can get the DAC to work fine with my laptop running kodibuntu, but not on the Pi2, and I've gotten volumio to do it with the RPi2, but the interface for volumio is sluggish. I'm having lots of loud static when I select SPDIF for my USB DAC and the analog option resamples on my RPi2. Just curious where you find/put the nf file? abn ac-3 acf acpi activation activesync advanced custom fields air conditioning air filter album amazon android apache artist asio ato ba falcon bash cache caching car car pc carputer centos chrome comment contacts deflate displayport dolby digital drupal drupal 7 drupal modules ds_store dts ebay editing epg episode er diagram erd exchange exchange 2010 explorer falcon file attributes firefox ford galaxy note galaxy sii gallery git gitignore golf google google photos gossip girl gpedit greasemonkey group policy gst gzip hard answers hash hdmi hosting hotlinking htaccess html html5 hyper-v iis javascript kindle laptop linux live messenger mac mce messenger mobile mobile phones mod_deflate mod_rewrite modification date mouse mp3 msn msn messenger music mysql negative delta time netbook ob_flush ost osx owa paperwhite pc phones php pilot playlist power management redirect regex regular expressions remote control rules module samsung server server 2008 server 2008 r2 shell song soundblaster soundtrack spam sport sql sstp str string surround sound suspend taskbar television template text tv unreal tournament ut video vista vmc vpn web web development wi-fi windows windows 10 windows 7 windows 8 windows mobile windows xp wireless wordpress xhtml xp yahoo messenger zlib Updated about 6 yrs, 11 mths ago (September 23, 2015).

Hopefully this is helpful to anyone with the same / a similar problem (hence adding my reference links). Now my RPi with OSMC can be used to feed bit-perfect audio data to my hifi USB DAC. Once you’ve created the nf file and rebooted, OSMC shows a new audio output device “ALSA Default.” and I selected that. “aplay -l” should give you any other info you need. I got the name of my device by running “cat /proc/asound/card1/id” because my USB DAC is the first card. I got the info for this from 1 and 1 (and a few more hints from 2 ) so that i could pass through bit-perfect music. To fix mine, I created an nf file that creates an audio device (so that OSMC doesn’t die if the USB DAC is turned off) and that explicitly disables resampling (I’m only using mine to run music).

The “white-noise” hiss seems to be a bug when using GPU acceleration for resampling. You are using a USB Audio DAC on a Raspberry Pi, and it does not work properly. Know a better answer? Let me know!
