All, , Thank you, but I don;t think it is an alsa player issue, as I can not get the dvd player digital output to work with anything.
I belive it may be something in my settings, which I have output below. What in the settings below, or else ware, turns on the 2-pin digital input on my hammerfall card? Let me know if you need any additional informations. Thank you. Bearcat M.
