<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'> The
install of the frontend went well enough, although trying to do the full xebian
install from the install script at mythtv-xbox didn’t do anything, so I
did a normal install from a DVD-R (my xbox doesn’t like CDRs—phillips
drive I think). After installing xebian I ran the mythtv-xbox install
script which installed everything from the looks of it.</span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'> Everything
works except the audio (via the optical digital out). I looked at several
posts regarding this, and saw some references to modifying the modules.conf
entries (via /etc/modutils/alsa). I wasn’t able to get xbox=1 to
stick in alsa, so I unloaded the snd-intel8x0 driver and loaded again via “modprobe
snd-intel8x0 xbox=1”. This loaded, but reported xbox=1 is not a
valid option. Checking the logs via dmesg, when the driver is loaded
automatically or via modprobe it reports that AC’97 isn’t
responding and is reset. I assume this is my core problem, but I can’t
seem to find a way to make it work.</span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'> I
also tried getting the kernel source and building alsa from scratch, but
configure –with-cards=intel8x0 reports that intel8x0 isn’t a valid
card (despite being listed as an option in configure.</span></font></p>

any ideas on what I can do to get my audio working?</span></font></p>
