Did you only choose the dac as the passthrough device or as the main audio output as well? Because if I don't select it as the main device, I don't get any output in any case.

I am using test trailers for dolby and dts that can be found here. The most basic are both 5.1.

Unfortunately, yes. More annoyingly, I the sound bar is my only audio device that has a digital audio input, so I don't know, whether this might work with different hardware...

Well, the main problem is that I can't test the new settings via SSH or do you know a solution to that?

Code:

#dtparam=i2s=on
#dtparam=audio=on

I tried again after commenting out "dtparam=i2s=on", but it didn't change anything.
