[mythtv-users] Mythfrontend (0.24) won't correctly play multichannel audio

[Jim Cortez]

Hey all,
     I just switched all my audio to go digital (cable optical->hdpvr 
optical, computer hdmi->receiver hdmi). I used to have analog audio from 
my cable box to hdpvr. My issue is now when I play newly-recorded video 
(now with digital audio) with mythfrontend, I have missing sound 
channels. I am mainly missing the front channels as I can rarely hear 
any voices. When playing the same video through vlc, I can hear the 
audio just fine. I included 2 logs in a pastebin below, first with the 
bad digital audio and one with the good analog audio. Anyone have any 
ideas what I can do here?
Thanks,
Jim
