<div>I created an asound.conf file from the example at <a href="http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Configuring_Digital_Sound#How_do_I_do_this_in_Fedora_Core" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Configuring_Digital_Sound#How_do_I_do_this_in_Fedora_Core</a>, making sure that my device ID was changed for the digital portion (the IEC958) in the file, but things are still weird. I can use aplay on a wav file from the command line, and I can run xine to play an mp3, but when I setup the settings in Myth according to the recommendations at that link, I still can't hear anything (the part talking about "Audio output device" about 3 paragraphs above the "Questions and Answers" heading). I get nothing in both Analog and Digital.

<div>In Myth, under Utilities/Setup->General in the Audio section, I have my "Audio output device" set to ALSA:multi and the "Passthrough output device" set to ALSA:digital, according to the writeup. I also have "Enable AC3 to SPDIF passthrough" and "Enable DTS to SPDIF passthrough" checked. I hear nothing when I try to play a song out of MythMusic from a CD that I ripped down. It's in ogg format if that matters. That was the default format when it was ripped.

<div>Let me know what other information you need. I'm still frustrated, but now I know that at least my onboard audio works, but I'm still missing a big piece of the puzzle.</div>

<div>Thanks,</div>
<div>Harry</div></div></blockquote><div><br>How are you outputting the sound? You said it's your onboard audio, is it outputted via a stereo plug(s), or it coax or digital?<br><br>Try setting the "Audio output device" to "ALSA:default" and the same for the "Passthrough output device". Then uncheck both of the SPDIF options... That's what I had to do at least.
