[mythtv-users] No Sound with nForce chipset

[Ryan Allen]

Yes, I looked at that document, and I left with more questions then
answers.  I'm compiling them now, for when I attempt to move to SPDIF
and video out of my 350.

For now, I've got the basics working, and will attempt to use the
hardware better to my advantage in the near future.

Thanks!
