Hello! I'm looking for an easy-to-use website that will explain the differences of the nvidia cards to me. MythTV says I need a Geforce 4 or better to do XvMC, but I've got an MX440 and it barely (nearly unusably) does it. I am looking for a faster/better/newer card and want to know the difference in the 5200, 6200, 6600, GT versions of those, the 4000...
Second question: I'm looking for a card that actually works (well) in linux/mythtv with it's Digital Coax output. I have yet to actually be able to get anything to play through my digital out and have my receiver pick it up as a Dolby Digital sound source (when it's a HD recording with DD audio). Optimally, I would set my output device to something suitable (/dev/dsp?) and it would send it out the digital coax jack on the soundcard, and my receiver would auto-detect (which it does with things like DVD's) it's audio type (digital or analog) and playback actual sound that's pleasing to the ears. The best I've gotten is a loud repeated 'beat' (which is my best description, I would guess it's an analog version of the digital pulse?) which I quickly mute or kill. I've tried/used a cmipci, an emu10k1, and onboard via-82xx, all through very new versions of ALSA, with no avail. Thanks! _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
