Hi,
many thanks for all your advices!
Indeed, it was a IRQ problem, which was solved automatically when I
plugged in the terratec Xfire soundcard from my old PC. The BIOS
reassigned the IRQs and now the onboard sound works, too.
What I've tested so far:
* aplay works
* ac3dec works perfectly w
Hi,
I've described my problem some days ago on the user list, but it seems
like no user knows a solution to this -- which is no big surprise as the
hardware I'm using is quite new.
Perhaps one of the developers can help out.
Here a short summary of the problem:

Hi,
this is not a *very* important issue, but the problem should be solved
quite easy:
For me, 4channel output (indep. front and rear output) works with the
Terratec XFire (cs46xx), but for some not -- at least not without
modifying the driver.
for the problem description see:

Tataaa!
I got output of 4 independent channels from my XFire for the first time
under linux!

Hi Benny,
I just tested your patches with my terratec DMX XFire 1024. Rear channel
doesn't seem to work as intended:
I always get the same output out of both output jacks when I play back
on hw:0,0 (should be on the first/front output only, I assume).
I can't hear anything from the analog output

Exactly the same problem for me.

Too bad Cirrus doesn't like it's circuits to be used. Why can't they

many bugs they don't want to be seen by anyone ;-)

Hi Benny,
regarding your cs46xx DSP and codec list:
AFAIK the Xfire card has got a CS4624 DSP, not a CS4630. The main (only?)
difference should be the processing power (CS4624: 255MIPS, CS4630: 420MIPS).
I think the CS4630 can handle AC3 input through S/P-DIF whereas the CS4624
