Hi,
I am using the latest alsa drivers 1.0.11rc4 with the audigy 2 ZS
notebook pcmcia card (Vanilla kernel 2.6.16 on gentoo-amd64). If I
just use xmms to play something, with the optical output connected to
my decoder, the decoder detects it as "prologic" and plays it. The
channels seem to be wrong though. But my real concern is getting ac3
passthrough to work.
If I configure xine for a passthrough and play some dvd. All I hear is
a repeated periodic noise. The same happens with "mplayer -ac hwac3
dvd://something". The alsa sound card matrix is not clear about the
spdif output status of this card.
I was wondering if anyone got this pcmcia card spdif out to work. I
have been a linux user for a while, but I am new to fiddling with
alsa. At present, the module:snd_emu10k1 is loaded with its default
options. I am not sure if I should try other options. A search through
the mailing list archives showed that a few people used some patch to
get the audigy 2 zs (the pci soundcard version) to work. But those
postings were old, my guess is the patch should be in the latest alsa
by now. I would appreciate any alsa debugging tips and options that I
could try.
I never tested it, so I might not work yet.
I think standard PCM stereo should work, just maybe not AC3.
