I forgot to say that I was referring to you having digital sound into
your TV, not analog sound.  On the file that didn't run, I should
check this stuff before hitting send but my wife was yelling at me.
:-)  aplay -l

On asla, you want 1.0.18 or later

I am shooting in the dark here just thinking that you need the latest stuff.

It may be that all you need to do is go into your bios and enable
digital sound through the DVI port.  It is worth a shot.
