Ludmil,<br>There should be a seperate setting for MythMusic which you can also set to ALSA:iec958 I believe.<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 6/4/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">Ludmil Miltchev</b> <<a href="mailto:ludmilmm@gmail.com">

http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users</a><br>><br>><br>><br>> I found all the asound config to be unnecessary. What ended up<br>> working for me was, make sure ac3 and dts passthrough are both
<br>> enabled. And then change both the audio and passthrough output<br>> devices to be ALSA:iec958. That's all I needed, hopefully it will<br>> work for you as well.<br>><br>><br>><br>>------------------------------------------------------------------------
