[Alsa-user] Hercules Fortissimo II (CS46xx) and SPDIF

[<wh...@no...>]

Hi,

Some times ago I installed a computer with MythTV, an Hauppauge PVR 150=20
tuner card on a brand new GeForce 6100 motherboard. For the sound part I=20
used an old Guillemot Fortissimo II sound card which is connected using=20
the spdif out to a denon avr 1800 amplifier. (it seems that the onboard=20
audio is a bit new and not yet supported, but I did not try to make it=20
work btw).

My linux is the latest ubuntu build (breezy badger) kernel v2.6.12-9-386=20
and ALSA Version 1.0.9 (Sun May 29 07:31:02 2005 UTC). I have basic=20
stereo sound on my amplifier but when I try to use the AC3 passthrough=20
from mplayer as stated on the alsa wiki I just get a "click" sound and=20
then nothing more. It seems that my amplifier shutted down to avoid=20
damage, if I want to hear back sound again I need to switch it off/on.

I've gone through all tutorials and so on I could find on the net but I=20
am running out of solution right now. So if somebody could help, thanks.
