</div>There's a display issue if the screen resolution is too low ; some<br>
elements do not appear. This is fixed in trunk/0.25 or if you're using<br>
the 0.24 from this fork:<br>

The resolution here is 1920x1080, not that low, though.<br><br> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
But with ALSA;default, you usually won't be able to use digital audio.<br>
After you press the Scan for Audio Devices button ; move the cursor to<br>
the "Audio Output Device" tab ; and read the description. It will<br>
contain the word "analog".<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br>According to the attached screenshot (<a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/fpikus/Myth#5576375785734892546">https://picasaweb.google.com/fpikus/Myth#5576375785734892546</a>) my ALSA:default "Device supports up to 7.1, AC3, DTS, multi-channel LPCM). I can select ALSA:hdmi:CARD=NVIDIA,DEV=1, and results are the same (see second screenshot, <a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/fpikus/Myth#5576379022828654274">https://picasaweb.google.com/fpikus/Myth#5576379022828654274</a>). Now, when I select something which is not digital out, the entire "Digital Audio Capabilities" box disappears. Here the box is present but its elements are not visible.<br>

You can manually set it because you have typed manually the name of<br>
the audio device instead of selecting it in the list: so you're now in<br>
manual mode. You want to only use the entries automatically detected.<br>
<br>
If you want digital audio, you must select either the<br>
ALSA:iec958:something or the ALSA:hdmi:something ; those are the only<br>
two type of audio devices supporting digital passthrough<br>
