The same here.


I've been told that the only digital audio chip ALSA supports
for optical output (what about input?) is the C-Media 8738.

Really? I think since Version 0.9.7 SPDIF output _should_ even work for audigy-based cards. (i'm absolutly not shure) But right there is my problem.

Using an Audigy 1, alsa-driver-0.9.7, the rest ist 0.9.6:

<$PROMPT $>mplayer -ac hwac3 dvd://1
[...]
alsa-init: requested format: 48000 Hz, 2 channels, AC3
alsa-init: soundcard set to iec958:AES0=0x2,AES1=0x82,AES2=0x0,AES3=0x2
ALSA lib pcm_hw.c:1055:(snd_pcm_hw_open) open /dev/snd/pcmC0D3p failed:
No such device
alsa-init: playback open error: No such device
Could not open/initialize audio device -> no sound.
Audio: no sound
[...]

Don't know what i'm missing. Mhhhhh.

Can anyone shed light on the ALSA S/Pdif situation? Thanks!

I would be greatful as well - thanks.
