hi ppl with problems with cmpci! pls read back the archive for a about 1 month and you will find that your problems are very common. there you.ll find all you need to solve the problem. short conclusio: use the kernel included driver and a patched ac3dec to play great sound thru spdif. if you can.t find the mails let me know and write a private mail. :)
