I posted yesterday with problems getting the AC3<br>passthrough to work. I was told that the driver for the SB Audigy<br>4 I had bought didn't support this. So after switching from the<br>SB Audigy 4 to a Turtle Beach Riviera card which I was told had
<br>full support for this, I'm still stuck with the same problem: No<br>AC3 passthrough. Audio works fine for 2-channel output through<br>the SPDIF optical out for SD and HD broadcasts if I shut off AC3<br>passthrough in the setup. But otherwise, I still get silence or
<br>static when I turn it on.<br> Can somebody out there with a Turtle Beach Riviera (or<br>anybody using the snd_cmipci ALSA driver) offer any ideas? Or,<br>can you please send me your ALSA config files and tell me how you
<br>have things set up in the "Audio" section of the front end's<br>general setup screen?<br> As I said before, I've gone through all the howto's and<br>wiki's I can find, and none has been helpful.
<br><br>Thank you,<br>Greg<br><br></blockquote><div><br><br>I have the Turtle Beach Riviera, and it pretty much just worked without any tweaking or .asoundrc files or anything. The only thing I had to do was fire up alsamixer and un-mute the appropriate channel (IEC958 if I remember correctly.) I can't remember what my specific settings were in the myth frontend setup, but if un-muting IEC958 doesn't work for you, I can check and post it.
