Martin-<br><br>Thanks for your replies! Just prior to reading your post, I got it working. Not sure exactly what made it work but here are my steps for anyone else that stumbles across this thread.<br><br>1). Uninstalled libdts
<br><div><span class="gmail_quote"></span></div>2). Recompiled myth<br>Still didn't work. [Strangley, DTS passthrough option is still in myth despite .configure stating that it was not being compiled in]<br>3). Copied .asoundrc from digital sound howto.
<br>4). Changed myth source to ALSA:digital<br>Didn't work. Myth didn't recognize "Alsa:digital"<br>5). Reboot<br>Still didn't work. Myth didn't recognize "Alsa:digital"<br>6). Changed Myth back to Alsa:spdif
<br>Happiness! Now, I just need to wire up my 5.1 speakers to take advantage of this fix.<br><br>I bet someone can look at these steps and have some pretty good idea on what happened. I can't but I am happy it is working. btw- I am 95% positive it was more than the reboot.
<br><br>When I have some courage again, I'll reinstall libdts, recompile myth and follow these same steps. I can only guess that Ubuntu's installation of libdts did something to Alsa and putting .asoundrc.conf back in my home directoy set it back to normal?
<br><br>Oh, and I am a bit embarrassed to admit this but I realized that the option for A/V sync on my receiver was set to ON which I learned inserts a delay in audio (theoretically audio is typically in front of video I guess). My A/V sync is still not perfect but turning that option off makes it unnoticeable to any normal viewer (other then me since I am hypersensitive to it after troubleshooting this for several months).
