To clarify - I don't care about real 5.1 surround, I only want Pro-Logic style effects, so that my front left speaker play the same stuff as my rear left one. Funny enough, I seem to have found a problem: the receiver detects the input from Ouya as 3/4.1, while the one from a computer is detected a stupid 2.0. Therefore, the receiver applies its Pro-Logic to the computer output and makes it sound awesome, but does NOT apply it to Ouya, making it sound like crap.
Having said that - is there any way to force Ouya to output a 2.0 through hdmi? Playing around the settings in XMBC did not help at all, I assume i will have to abandon hdmi for an analog cable to get this sort of effect, will I? Thanks in advance!
For simple-smile - I pipe ouya->HDMI into receiver's input -> receiver -> HDMI through receiver's hdmi video output. You can tell whether you can do the same thing by verifying that your receiver has a HDMI video output port.
I have found [one] solution and will post it here for future generations.
So, standard (menu, or game for instance) sound output via hdmi is forced to be 3.4/1 and therefore Pro-Logic is not applicable.
Solution:
1) switch ouya on (sound will be detected as 3.4/1)
2) open xbmc, define music output to be 2.0 (this will not force the receiver to pick it up)
3) let xbmc start playing a song
4) switch receiver to a different input
5) swithc it back to ouya's output. receiver recognizes 2.0 as 2.0 and turns Pro-Logic on
slightly annoying, but ok. switching off sounds while scrolling the menu might help make it smoother, if you intend to play a lot of music on your ouya (like me)
