[mythtv-users] SPDIF woes with Epia M1000 and FC5

Jesse,
# cat /proc/asound/devices yields - 
 
[root at MythLounge .mythtv]# cat /proc/asound/devices
  2:        : timer
  3:        : sequencer
  4: [ 0- 1]: digital audio playback
  5: [ 0- 1]: digital audio capture
  6: [ 0- 0]: digital audio playback
  7: [ 0- 0]: digital audio capture
  8: [ 0]   : control
 
so I assume my .asoundrc would be -
 
-- BEGIN --
pcm.!default {
       type hw
       card 0
       device 1
}
-- END --

Regards,
Ray

This is my ~mythtv/.asoundrc:

-- BEGIN --
pcm.!default {
       type hw
       card 0
       device 2
}
-- END --

However, remember that this is specific to my sound card. It just
happens to be the case that ALSA identifies the SPDIF output of my card
to be device 2. This is how I found the info for the file above:

$ cat /proc/asound/devices
  2:        : timer
  3: [ 0- 2]: digital audio playback
  4: [ 0- 1]: digital audio capture
  5: [ 0- 0]: digital audio playback
  6: [ 0- 0]: digital audio capture
  7: [ 0]   : control
  8: [ 1- 0]: digital audio capture
  9: [ 1]   : control
 10: [ 2- 0]: digital audio capture
 11: [ 2]   : control

Notice the following line:
  3: [ 0- 2]: digital audio playback

I believe that this is read as device 2 on card 0. My understanding is
that sound is played on 0-0 by default, so if the default setup is not
causing audio to come out of SPDIF, check it.

Jesse.

Hi all, I'm trying to get my FrontEnd to pass all sound through the
SPDIF output. I have looked for /etc/alsa.conf and ~/.asound neither of
which can be found. Can anyone point me to a good article (excluding -
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Configuring_Digital_Sound) for the
linux challenged?! 
 
Regards,
Ray
