[mythtv-users] Static from SPDIF out when starting playback

[David Maher]

I am also getting this for a split second as the audio starts when I watch digital tv, or a recording that is broadcast in dolby digital. If I press the + key and change audio streams to PCM digital, it does not happen if I press + again and change back to dolby it happens again. I have been thinking it was either my sound card or my suround receiver. My frontend is anAopen XCcube ea65.
Cheers

This is a really weird problem and I can't seem to figure out what is going on.  For starters, my system:
- 0.18.1 on Gentoo 2005.0 (kernel 2.6.11)
- Guillemot Fortissimo II sound card (CS46xx driver) with Alsa 1.0.9b, using an optical spdif connection to my Panasonic SA-XR55 receiver
- PVR-500 with ivtv 0.3.9 (doubt this matters)

Anyway, when I start watching live tv or a recording (but NOT when I watch a video), I get static for a split second before it starts.  It sounds like 3 quick clicks almost, but staticky clicks.  It's very loud and very obnoxious.  It's just that same sound every time and then as soon as the video appears everything is fine.  This is only through the SPDIF, not when I use analog, but of course I want to use SPDIF because I plan to install an HDTV card and want AC3 out.  Anybody have any experience with this happening and any possible solutions?  Thanks,

Stefan Wrobel
