[mythtv-users] alsa9:spdif

[Gerald Schepens]

I just bought an Audigy card (an Audigy ES 5, part # SB0160 to be 
exact).  I can't seem to make the digital out work on it.  So I wonder 
what drivers you're using, exactly which card you're using, and what you 
had to do to get the digital out to work.  In short, it'd do me a world 
of good if you could do a bit of a brain dump on your sound card.  Thanks!
