Hello,

I have a similar problem with soundblaster 5.1 live.

Choosing "stereo" as output mode in, eg. mplayer or vlc, gives me a working digital signal. But when I choose to pass through an ac3 5.1 -signal, I get only noise using vlc. (s)mplayer crashes saying this:

Selected audio code: [hwac3]afm: hwac3 (AC3 through S/PDIF)
[format] Sample format big endian AC§ not yet supported

Is AC3-pass through supposed to work at all with the emu10k1-chip?

Greetings
Bernd B.
