I was going to suggest that you try that but I didn't want to jump to such a rash step off the jump. Congrats!
Tfive. It's definitely something that I'm overlooking in PA. Not a PaXoverRack config issue. Not a Toslink issue. I flashed my MCHStreamer to make it appear to be a simple 2in/2out-Toslink device and it works fine. Obviously in this config it channel-maps as Front-R/L though. Now that I know that the Streamer and my sources are playing well together I'll re-flash to 10-in /10-out and mess around some more with PulseAudio settings until I can hear the sound that I'm seeing coming in from aux0/aux1.
I'll stop bothering you for now & I'll let you know how it goes once I figure it out.
Thanks as usual for your help

There's a new bugfix/feature release available and here's the changelog:
Code:
pulseaudio-crossover-rack (1.64) stable; urgency=medium
* bugfix:
- fix redraw bug after deleting OutputWidgets that also prevented saving
- fix bug that prevented saving because of missing method in XoverOutput
* feature:
- remove pretty much senseless nag dialog when saving a file asking if
you also want to persist changes to the default.pa file when the xover
modules were inserted already. Why wouldn't you?

So I've wanted to port my Pax crossover setup to a Raspberry Pi for a while. I have it working on a desktop with output going to the same HDMI 7.1 LPCM DeEmbeder that DarpMalone is using (see his post #1003, which includes a link to the product) and Raspbian Linux. BUT this is where my attempt is gonna be more challenging, so time for some confession. If you don't already know it, it is VERY hard (impossible?) to get a Raspberry Pi during this chip shortage. So i had a Pi B+ (32 bit, 512meg, and pretty old). Ok, Guilty! Yes i have seen CPU hit 97.4% during the install! Quite surprised it all runs. BUT, i can't get a browser to run because of not enough memory, so tough to post things from that machine, here so bear with me as I might have trouble posting configuration information.
My goal is just to get a 2-way crossover working and evaluate next steps (like keep trying to get a Pi 4).
So far, i have Pax running and making the right sounds out all 4 speakers when i just create an input and 2 outputs. But when i insert an LR4Highpass and LR4Lowpass between input and outputs;
- the Pax Config of input, thru my highpass, to Output1 on front 2 channels works. Pax also reports that the Input, thru LR4lowpass works, but fails when it tries to implement the LRLowpass to Output 2 on ANY of the other 7.1 outputs with "ERROR inserting module OutputLow".
Of course, i can provide more info but figured I would start with this in case the solution (or dead end) is obvious.
Appreciate any help and a big Thanks to T5 and lots of others who got me this far!!

first, 2nd, 3rd of course is how i tried simple to complex until i could figure out what thing actually failed. Again thanks for the help!
There are no files attached. Does this mean that you solved the issue? If so, what was the issue? If not, please reattach the files...
strange. i did this on another computer and when i looked it had them before i posted my reply. Now looking here, like you no files. Very sorry. I will try again. Give me a minute
(could not post with .paxor suffix. Changed to .doc. change them back and should be ok. Thanks!
yes. and second attempt was successful. 3rd attempt is the one with the lr4's. Interesting in the 3rd attempt, inserts going to fronts worked. and the insert for lr4 low pass. only the module insert for outputlow failed. strange.
I'm watching Top the whole time. Thinking it might get strange when if it starts to run out of memory, but while there is very little left once i have everything running, there isn't any spike or ??. Pax runs 60-80% max when inserting the modules. High but nothing "over the cliff". where else should i be looking?
btw. i noticed you ref'd some patching in the last couple days. I probably built it a week ago, so if there is a recent patch maybe i need to build again???

OK, the bug i had in mind should have been fixed in 14.0. So I propose we take this to PM or E-Mail. And we probably need to arrange a remote desktop session to figure this one out.
ok. whichever works best for you. this little Pi is pretty weak and no browser. whatever helps I am ready.
