<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">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>
<DIV> </DIV>
<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>
<DIV> </DIV>
<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>
