Hi. I am running Mythtv on ubuntu (mythubuntu) after getting rid of my previous setup based on gentoo (it was getting too demanding keeping up).<br><br>On gentoo I used to (I believe) have digital audio all up and running fine, yet on this new setup I am scratching my head and becoming very frustrated.<br>
<br>I have followed the wiki, other guides here and there and everywhere but not getting anywhere. I have 18 years experience on Unix/Linux so I know what I am doing. I think.<br><br>Right. I cannot get digital audio playback working when watching something live on TV. Everything else appears to work.<br>
<br>I get silence or cracks/squeaks. I have checked the board (DVB-C) and it is capable of AC3. Is there some kind of magic required to ensure that when recording or viewing something with AC3 the board is indeed getting the right sound out?<br>
<br>I have played around with test.ac3 output and cannot get that to work neither. So I am assuming that something is wrong with my ALSA setup, but what I don't know. It is a nforce3 based board, I have an asoundrc file in my home directory etc.<br>
<br>Does anyone have a minute/ideas or could point to a guide that certifiably works? It would be much appreciated.<br><br>Regards,<br><br>Per<br><br>
