Thanks for the reply nick. I have read through the link you referred to and that is how I initially got things working but since then things have farked up. So I know it is able to work I just can't manage to get the volume up when playing regular non-AC3 material. The output is darn near inaudible but it is there. I will try and check the normal analog outputs but I am pretty confident they will work normally. I am beginning to think after reading the numerous threads RE: nforce4 spdif problems that I may just have to look into other options. I watched my first movie on mythtv last night(it was HD Dolby Digital so sound worked) and it was nice but I had numerous audio dropouts, the recording was good as if I back up over where the audio dropped out it would work on the second pass. A little annoying so I seem to have multiple audio issues. :-(

would also check to make sure your receiver is not configured with<br>separate settings for stero PCM material which the S/PDIF will also be<br>passing whenever it encounter non-AC3 material.<br><br>Are you doing any sampling rate conversion with non-48kHz material?
<br>Some/most receivers will not play 44kHz material (common for MP3s<br>ripped from CD) if they are expecting 48kHz audio over the S/PDIF<br>connection.<br><br>If you connect your PC to the receiver via a stereo analog audio cable
<br>(and adjust your output settings appropriately) do you get<br>normal-level audio?<br><br>Nick<br>--<br>MythTV Official wiki:<br><a href="http://mythtv.org/wiki/">http://mythtv.org/wiki/</a><br>MythTV users list archive:
