[mythtv-users] SBLive + ALSA + AC3 question

[Nate Thompson]

Mine has been doing the exact same thing as you are experiencing... Getting
stuck in a certain mode, or getting stuck in a loop where the receiver
alternates between stereo and dolby digital modes, producing no sound but
requiring a warm boot to resolve it.

Still looking into that one (recent upgrade to FC3 + ALSA 1.08).

kewl, i'll have to check it out and see ... didn't want to go through the
work if someone else could confirm it didn't work :) ... do you use xine or
mplayer for movies?  do you have problems with it "sticking" in
AC3 mode?  i'm running from the coax out (via Hoontech Digitial I/O
daughterboard) on my SBLive to my receiver and sometimes after quitting
xine, the receiver still says "Dolby D" even if i try to play a stereo movie
(or mp3z, etc) ... then, i get no sound from anything but AC3 movies ... it
doesn't always happen, so i can't fully explain how to reproduce...

my ASUS mobo has an onboard sound card w/ coax out, but i haven't had any
better luck with it (last tried ALSA 1.0.5, iirc).. can't recall what
onboard sound card it was or what driver it used, either, but it'd free up
some expansion slots if i could use that :S

thx for the input :)
