Hi, I have a Shuttle SK41G machine. This has a VIA8235, with an Avance Logic ALC 650 Rev 0 on it.
Problem: I want to use the digital out on this board talking to my digital receiver for normal audio. I also want to have AC3/DTS passthrough when playing DVDs. Something is playing up. Usually, I can get AC3 passthrough working for DVDs.. after a bit of random flailing at the mixer devices, but I can't always. I haven't been able to identify a consistent pattern of changes to make to make it 100% reliable. It just seems to "start working" eventually. I can't get non-AC3/DTS digital audio output to work at all. My decoder DOES light up its wee "Digital" light when I starting playing something, but there is no sound. Oddly enough, I'm pretty sure I DID have this working at one point, but I cannot get anything now. I'm changing: IEC958, IEC958 Input Monitor, IEC958 Output, IEC958 Playback AC97-SPSA, and Analog to IEC958 Output.. oh, and PCM, Master are set quite high. I've also tried sending the output to the "iec958/spdif" devices, but with no luck (although this does seem to change which combinations of mixer settings mean my decoder light the DIGITAL light) I'm using the latest CVS of ALSA, with Xine 1.0beta10. Why am I posting this here? I'm going to try messing with the code to try and fix this, but I'm hoping someone can suggest some things for me to try as I am hampered by a lack of VIA8235 docs. Finally, what are these "VIA DXS" mixer devices? I now have four of them and none of them seems to affect anything! ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Etnus, makers of TotalView, The debugger for complex code.
