[mythtv-users] raw ac3 out the S/PDIF ?

[John Poet]

No, I don't think I have set Myth's audio output device.  I can't figure
out how to do that.  Is it a variable in the sql database?  I have gone
through every "option" in mythsetup and mythfrontend and do not see
where to set it.

There is an option in mythsetup for the capture audio device, but that
is different, right?

Thanks,

John

You did change Myth's audio output device, right?
