Been playing around a bit more this weekend (aren't weekends great :-) )
and it seems that audio out works fine on all of the analog outputs but
none of the digital. This is true when just playing a file with Mplayer
on the Mythbuntu desktop. The coaxial output gives me nothing when
connected to my digital amp, and the optical output isn't even lit.
Interestingly enough though, when running ALSAmixer, I don't get any
control over the volume bar for IEC958, if that is the digital out then
maybe it is still disabled somewhere...
So I run aplay -L and interestingly enough,
iec958:CARD=NVidia,DEV=0
HDA NVidia, ALC883 Digital
IEC958 (S/PDIF) Digital Audio Output
null
Discard all samples (playback) or generate zero samples (capture)
So how the heck is that happening and, more importantly, how do I make
it stop?? Or start as the case may be :-D
