This is my ~mythtv/.asoundrc:<br>
<br>
-- BEGIN --<br>
pcm.!default {<br>
type hw<br>
card 0<br>
device 2<br>
}<br>
-- END --<br>
<br>
However, remember that this is specific to my sound card. It just
happens to be the case that ALSA identifies the SPDIF output of my card
to be device 2. This is how I found the info for the file above:<br>
<br>
$ cat /proc/asound/devices<br>
2: : timer<br>
3: [ 0- 2]: digital audio playback<br>
4: [ 0- 1]: digital audio capture<br>
5: [ 0- 0]: digital audio playback<br>
6: [ 0- 0]: digital audio capture<br>
7: [ 0] : control<br>
8: [ 1- 0]: digital audio capture<br>
9: [ 1] : control<br>
10: [ 2- 0]: digital audio capture<br>
11: [ 2] : control<br>
<br>
Notice the following line:<br>
3: [ 0- 2]: digital audio playback<br>
<br>
I believe that this is read as device 2 on card 0. My understanding is
that sound is played on 0-0 by default, so if the default setup is not
causing audio to come out of SPDIF, check it.<br>

all, I'm trying to get my FrontEnd to pass all sound through the SPDIF
output. I have looked for /etc/alsa.conf and ~/.asound neither of which
can be found. Can anyone point me to a good article (excluding - <a
