[xine-user] no sound (xine-0.9.8, SB Live!, Videologic external DTS decoder)

[Jurriaan on A. <thu...@xs...>]

I want 5.1 sound from xine through my speakers, but I don't get any
sound. Searching the web didn't really find me instructions. If I
overlooked something, please LART me and tell me where to look.

Here's my setup:

dual P3/700 system
Matrox G400 card
SB Live! card
alsa-drivers (0.9.0beta12)
Videologic Digitheatre DTS
xine-0.9.8

The soundblaster is connected to the digital coaxial input of the
Videologic. Both card and speakers work, I can play mp3's just fine.
When I use xine (& dvdnav) to play a movie, I don't hear anything.

Here's my .xinerc (actually, on debian, it's .xine/config):

All seems well.
Does anybody have this setup working? It all seems rather common
equipment. I must have tried every alsamixer setting I could find, but
the Digitheatre doesn't make noise.
Playing mp3's works, but I want that linux home theatre :-)

Thanks,
Jurriaan
