Have you tried to connect card 1's spdif out to 2's input and set 2's clock to spdif in. I think only way to get anything properly from spdif in is to clock the card from the spdif in also. However, sometimes my Audiophile card receivec stuff from spdif even it's not clocked from it, but then I get pops and cracks on leftf channel, and sometimes I hear nothing. But both issues disappear when clocking from spdif. > - Is the word clock output something you must switch on in the ALSA > driver or is it supposed to start automatically when you have a valid > clock signal on the card? Don't know. > - Do I have to do something special to get SPDIF output (I'm new to No you don't. My .asoundrc has pcm.spdif_test { type plug ttable.0.8 1 ttable.1.9 1 slave.pcm { type hw card 0 device 0 } } and I can play & capture using this 'spdif_test' device. This is for Audiophile, but since they use same chip, this should work for you. > this)?

You can't connect card's outputs to any inputs with anvy24control within the same card. JACK can do that, but it's a different story. You can connect inputs to outputs directly with the envy24control and it's done in hardware. Tommi ps. One more thing, make sure you use the right connectors when connecting physically the spdif inputs and outputs. ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net is sponsored by: Speed Start Your Linux Apps Now.
