"Ah, so assuming my sound card only supports 48KHz, that would explain<br>
why the myth code is resampling the output. Is there some definitive way<br>
I can see if my sound card (mb audio VT8233) supports output at the<br>
44.1KHz sample rate? Seems like that's the what this is coming down to... "<br>
<br>
</div>You could try to ask the folks at Via. Yeah, like they'd ever answer.<br>
Seriously, Via is well known for sound chips which support 48KHz only.<br>
Despite what modinfo and their web-site documentation show, 48KHz is<br>
pretty much it for them. Try googling "Via" and "bit perfect audio" to<br>
see what I mean.<br>
<br>
I spent weeks trying get a Via mobo (and sound chip) to feed 44.1 KHz<br>
out the spdif. Finally threw in the towel and bought a Turtle Beach<br>
Riviera for about $20 to $30. It "just works."<br>
<br>
If you want your CD's to sound right, ie., not up-pitched about 10%,<br>
then you will have to get a new sound card. To my knowledge, there is<br>
no alsa, jack, mythtv, or other way around it.<br>
<br>
Good luck,<br>

PS: Just a side note, I think it's MythTV telling alsa to re-sample,<br>
not MythTv re-sampling.<br>
<div><br></div></blockquote></div>All very helpful. I think it's time for me to give up bit-perfect audio with the via chipset. I've been considering new hardware anyway, I'll see if any of the on-board audio chipsets support bit-perfect output, if not I'll go with the Turtle Beach Riviera. Most of the posts I read mentioned the m-audio cards which were a bit too pricey for me. <br>
