I would just like to say that I am having trouble also with SPDIF
output and the latest dist-upgrade. I have it working on the backend
but on my new frontend I went from Fedora 2115 from the install CD's to
kernel-smp-2.4.22-1.2179 and the latest alsa packages shown from the
previous message. I cannot get SPDIF to work for anything. I am using
the Intel8x0 sound chip and have found lots of other references on the
net that it works with alsa. Along the same lines, my friend had SPDIF
working with this same chip. He did the dist-upgrade last weekend and
it broke for him too. I tried to go to 2174 but apt-get does not find
the kernel-smp files for 2174 and they are not listed on the website
anymore.<br>

<pre wrap="">Hi folks
I first installed Myth about 2 months ago and followed Jarod's excellent
guide. I successfully had the SPDIF output on my Audigy2 working from
mplayer, Ogle and OSS emulation from Myth so that everything went
through the digital output.
However, I did a dist-upgrade the other day (which upgraded the kernel
and alsa) and I've now lost the output from everything. Mplayer (using
-ao alsa9:spdif -ac hwac3,) says that it can't open the sound device,
and Myth fails silently.
This is the mplayer output:
---
Checking audio filter chain for 48000Hz/2ch/16bit -> 48000Hz/2ch/8bit...
AF_pre: af format: 2 bps, 2 ch, 48000 hz, big endian AC3
AF_pre: 48000Hz 2ch AC3
Could not open/initialize audio device -> no sound.
Audio: no sound
Starting playback...
---
Bizarrely, the command "aplay -Dspdif <wav file>" works fine (which
alleviates my fears that it was a hardware failure).
Here's the versions I've got now:
alsa-utils-1.0.4-7.rhfc1.at
alsa-kmdl-2.4.22-1.2179.nptl_47.rhfc1.at-1.0.4-22.rhfc1.at
gnome-alsamixer-0.9.6-2.fr
alsa-lib-1.0.4-12.rhfc1.at
alsa-driver-1.0.4-22.rhfc1.at
Thanks for any help.
J.
