You shouldn't need a cable, it should be embedded. When you cat the dvr0<br>device do you get sound with mplayer?<br><br>Its possible that your somehow attached/tuned to the wrong audio stream.<br>You have both a audio and a video pid that you need to connect to. You

I *think* I'm a little closer, but still somewhat struggling after
playing with this a few hours. Is there a way to tell Myth to use
specific audio PIDs? I can't seem to find a way to do this and
worked through a number of channels as you described above, but am not
sure what else I can give myth outside of the PIDs themselves.<br>
<br>
I do get sound when playing back from mplayer something I cat from
dvr0. The catch is that if I play back I really have to specify
-ac hwac3 for mplayer. This got me thinking that maybe Myth is
not pasing AC3 out to my spdif port. I *do* have the MythTV
option to pass AC3 turned on and I'm using the .asoundrc from Jarod's
site with mixed digital for ALSA.<br>
<br>
Is anyone else sending AC3 from a DVB stream over SPDIF? If so, what does your .asoundrc look like?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
