Dolby Digital / DTS through HDMI Splitter and capture card on old receiver

  • Hey guys,


    I am running Hyperion on a Raspberry Pi 3B. The video sources (Playstation, Fire Stick, etc.) are connected to an HDMI Splitter, which in turn is connected to a capture card.

    The capture card is then connected to the Pi as well as the HDMI-in of the TV (sound is sent from the TV to my 5.1 receiver).

    Playback works fine, Hyperion works really well and Im very happy with the visual result.


    Unfortunately, when I watch a movie, there is no way to get Dolby Digital working, even if I pass the signal through. Since my receiver is quite old (around 20 years) it does not have HDMI support. However it takes in an opt cable. Shouldnt it be possible to get this working even with an older receiver?


    My suspicion is that either the HDMI splitter, or the capture card, or both need to support passthrough. Am I on to something?


    Would be great if someone could point me in the right direction!
