ahhh well sound crisis over. no need for a sample file, I know it works
now. my problem was basically the lack of s/pdif digital sound out the
back of my via mini-itx M9000 mainboard.
the via mini-itx mainboard manual has an error.
there is an rca plug at the back that can function either as tv-out or
spdif (ie digital sound). there is a jumper to switch between functions.
The manual has the pins confused, I moved the jumper to the other
setting and bang I have digital sound. Whats more if the file is encoded
with 5.1 channels, they all come out the correct speakers. sweet. other
forums have commented on the motherboard error, but it doesn't come up
anywhere near the top on google. I changed the subject line and
mentioned every possible search word to assist future searchers.
*sigh* next up? hardware mpeg2 decoding.
perhaps a demo of the media box would be a good clug session? combined
with watching Revolution OS again? Or perhaps just a few episodes of
Firefly :-)
Or perhaps anyone who wants a mythtv box has one already and I am just a
slow starter.
Well I for one would be very interested in a demo - struggling with some
of these issues right now.
