[mythtv-users] HDMI audio - MB or a Video card that just works?

[Ryan Allen]

Hi List, 

   I really need a recipe that is known to make HDMI audio "just work"
   on a newer generation motherobard/CPU with minimal tinkering?

   I will go out and buy all new hardware if I need to.

   I've searched the history of this thread, and I've found many
   problem discussions, but no actual "this hardware worked with this
   recipe".

   The constraints are, my new AVR's HDMI inputs only take audio
   from them, I cannot specify a different source.

   After my cat puked into my case, the component video stopped working.
   I bought a new ASUS EN9500GT OC/DI/512M, because it has an SPDIF
   input header, and hopes of running VDPAU.

   The video from the card is awesome, but I cannot get audio for the
   life of me.  First, the card has NO MANUAL, so I have no idea which
   pin is gnd, and which pin is data.  Each iteration of tweaking ALSA is
   a n*2, while I try to flip the cable guessing which pin is correct.

   Basically it's hopeless and I am out of patience.  Not because I
   dislike tinkering, but because I don't know what I am doing, and I
   don't understand the alsa settings, just following others "this
   worked for me" posts.

   I prefer Mythbuntu but will try a different distro if that is
   recommended.  

   HELP!!!

   Thanks so much...
