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?

This is a new one for me...<br><br>I am running subversion from yesterday, and I cannot for the life of me get<br>S/PDIF to send a 5.1 signal to my receiver. Xine works fine. Mplayer works<br>fine with Myth recordings. But Myth does strange things. When I start a
<br>program, it may stutter then go out for ten seconds then start back up for a<br>couple of seconds. If I turn off AC3 pass through, then everything works<br>fine, but it's only two channel sound. Any help would be most appreciated,
<br>because this is driving me insane.<br><br>Thanks in advance, and I'd be more than happy to provide more information if<br>it will help.<br>Will Lewis<br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>mythtv-users mailing list
