Using a DAC

[ILoveControl]

Hi all,

I bought some DACs for my Nvidia and Apple TV. works well with the video HDMI. I want to bind it in composer but since the Apple TV has a HDMI out I cant bind the DAC SPDIF to the matrix. Does one use a AV Switcher or somthing else to bind the DACs SPDIF (Coax) to the Matrix in SPDIF .

 

Would appreciate the help!

Any driver that has in and outputs and the ability setting done that tells the system that it can concert signals will do, mostly done using the AV proxy.

C4 has one I thing, houselogix had one on their site, think drivercentral now has one too (all free). Or any dealer with access to Pro can create one in about 30 seconds.

I'm having the same issue. HDMI comes out of ATV 4k and into DAC. DAC then sends the video (via HDMI) to my Matrix. DAC simultaneously sends audio (via optical cable) to Amplifier input 5. With the old Apple TV drivers, this wasn't a problem. You could make a connection for video output and a different connection for audio output. However, with new driver, only one output option (because the driver was designed with the knowledge that new ATVs only have one output - HDMI).

So how do we make one connection for audio and one for video, when the driver only allows for one connection?

? I already answered that, but sure I'll repeat and expand. You need to add in a driver for the DAC, which would 'connect' pretty much like the DAC (or in this case, it would be an HDMI audio extractor) is actually wired up.

One would generally use a generic 'all in one' driver, there's multiple available AFAIK - but I just use one of my own.

It seriously should take any dealer worth it's fee about 30 seconds to make.

Thanks. Got it done with the houselogix universal adapter driver. I just wasn't thinking about the problem logically.
