[mythtv-users] SPDIF and Stereo Analog at same time anyone?

[Allen Edwards]

With the fury of activity lately on sound setups, I thought I would bring up
an old question I worked on unsuccessfully a few months ago.  Has anyone
figured out how to get spdif passthrough and analog 2 channel out at the
same time?
My setup has Intel HDA on an Asus M3A.  I have a projector and surround
system that we use together .  But most of the time I use the TV and its
speakers. The surround amp runs 200 watts at idol so I don't like to use it
to listen to Jepordy and the news.  I presently have an old Technics decoder
just for the TV in addition to the surround processor.  That works but I
want to use the processor in another room to get Pandora to play the same
thing in that room as what is playing in the living room.  I have a coax
cable that I can use to run the spdif between the rooms.
That brings me back to the question I spent so much time trying to figure
out previously.  How to set up the HDA chip to put out analog at the same
time it is putting out the unprocessed spdif signal.  Reading the data sheet
on the sound chip I am almost positive it can be done.  I have tried the
earphone jack, tried both AC'97 and HDA and nothing works.  If anyone has
solved this please let me know what you did.
