[mythtv-users] AC3 and/or S/PDIF (again)

[Adam Propeck]

I'm having something similar that's driving me batty. I tried to switch to
/dev/adsp for my sound device, but it can't initialize audio when I do that.
If I keep /dev/dsp as the sound device and enable passthrough, I get
horrible noises eminating from my receiver. I've got a Sound Blaster Audigy
2 and I'm going from 1/8" phono plug to RCA to my receiver's Coax digital
input. I've successfully used this method from my Windows computer in the
past to send digital audio. What am I doing wrong?
