Hi! A few months ago I finally managed to make my SBLive card (rev 07) output AC3 sound via SPDIF. Unfortunately I can only make it work under a very limited combination of settings.
ALSA seems to be out of the question for me. I've tryed several alsa versions (even the latest cvs versions, which already include the recent patch by James Courtier-Dutton) with different Linux kernels, but it never worked. The Creative OSS driver works... with old Linux kernels. Up to kernel 2.4.9 everything is fine. I don't know abour kernels 2.4.10 to 2.4.15, because they have a bug that makes my system hang after booting. But with the latest kernels (2.4.16/17), the OSS driver produces as much AC3 sound as ALSA - nothing, that is. Are this known issues? Or is there anyone who can make their SBLive card output SPDIF sound using the settings that don't work for me (OSS with latest kernels, or ALSA with any kernel)? If you can I would like to hear from you, and please let me also know your SBLive rev number (mine is rev 07), as well as your amp model (mine is Creative DTT3500). [ If you feel this is off-topic, than please email me privately. ] Best regards, José Carlos Monteiro _______________________________________________ Alsa-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
