[mythtv-users] Asus P4PE audio digital output

[Bborie Park]

Hey, i have an asus p4s533-mx which has the same adi 1980 codec.  You 
just need to use alsa, which will support the rca spdif.  If you unmute 
the spdif in alsamixer, all of your pc audio will be sent out through 
the spdif connection.

Just check on the alsa website for documentation on the adi 1980 chip, 
its there if you look under supported hardware.  Personally, that codec 
works well under linux.

Can I use the digital output to hook up to a receiver and get all my PC sound, including the MythTV output?  Is this a purely hardware thing, or does it require drivers, etc.?
