Hi Everyone
I'm finally sick of the ATI ITX150 onboard sound on my Jetway mainboard.
The mainboard purportedly had everything I needed for a Myth box. TV out, S/Pdif in/out etc, none of which work correctly. My recommendation to anyone thinking of getting a mainboard with integrated components is DON'T - unless you have LOTS (and lots) of free time.
So I'm now looking for a PCI soundcard with S/Pid optical outputs. I do have a SB Live! Card that I have been using, this has a digital output on the back of the card (but it isn't optical).
So can anyone recommend a card that:
1. Has S/pdif that will work out of the box with ALSA and Kernel 2.6.9. 2. Has S/pdif on the back of the card (so there is no need for extra connectors etc - I just want the CARD in there) 3. WORKS!!! OUT OF THE BOX!!!! (No late nights, no recompiles, no getting the latest source from CVS, no guessing as to what I have to put in a config file to make the sound come out) :)
Any (tested?) recommendations eagerly anticipated. :)
I was in the same boat as you. Got a Turtle Beach Riviera. 30 minutes later optical SPDIF was working. At $25 it is the no holds barred choice in this arena. __
I second this recommendation. It is what I use and the easiest setup yet.
