Hello , I am using the on-board soundcard of my motherboard with alsa 0.9.6 . I`ve been using it with the analog outputs with no problems . Rerecently I purchased Creative Digital 5500 5.1 speakers and I started using the s/pdif coaxial output . Generally , it works . However the is some strange behaviour :
-mp3s/internet radio strems under xmms with low bitrates (like 32 , 64,24 kbps etc) are not audible. Ordinary mp3s (112+ kbps) are all audible -I havent gotten xmame to produce any sound with s/pdif -system events sounds in kde from s/pdif are either inaudible , or they are played with noise. In every occasion , the analog outputs work flawlessly . I am using slackware 9 , kernel 2.4.22 00:11.5 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8233 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 50 I am loading the following modules /sbin/modprobe snd-via82xx /sbin/modprobe snd-pcm /sbin/modprobe snd-timer /sbin/modprobe snd-mpu401-uart /sbin/modprobe snd-rawmidi /sbin/modprobe snd-seq-device /sbin/modprobe snd-ac97-codec /sbin/modprobe snd-page-alloc Anyone has an idea where I should start looking?
