Found the problem! Under settings I have accidently turned Resample quality to GPU audio acceleration instead of High. Using High, medium or low now works with 5.1.

I currently have OpenELEC installed but my settings were (same as OpenELEC):

Audio output device: Creative X-FI 5.1 Pro (ALSA:@:CARD=Pro,DEV=0) analog
Number of channels: 5.1
Output configuration: Optimized
Stereo upmix: un-checked
Normalize levels on downmix: checked
Resample quality: High
Keep audio device alive: 1 Minute
Play GUI sounds: Always
Enable passthrough: un-ticked

Settings are default, the only thing that I changed was "Audio output device -> Creative X-Fi analog" and "Number of channels -> 5.1", but this worked for me on OpenELEC.

This settings are from OpenELEC:

<audiooutput>
<ac3passthrough default="true">true</ac3passthrough>
<ac3transcode default="true">false</ac3transcode>

Hi,

I have a problem with LibreELEC 7.0.2 on my rPI3 that has Sound Blaster X-Fi Surround 5.1 Pro USB connected to it. When I switch from 2.0 to 5.1 there is no sound for movies with AC3. This works ok with OpenELEC 6.0.3. I use analog connection from USB card to Logitech 5.1 speakers. When it is set to 2.0 it works. How can I fix this to use 5.1 surround sound like on OpenELEC 6.0.3?
