NO !!! It is a prime example of poor trimming on the part of the previous poster, i.e. Sergei Steshenko. For the sake of illustration I will provide a minimum trim example. One could probably trim even more: [anybody remember the time when mailer and newsreader used to warn when a certain ratio (e.g. 50%) of old/new stuff wasn't met ;] >>> To my knowledge the PCM slider or nvidia nforce chips controls the >>> digital out volume (s/pdif,ac3).. >>>> >>>> I have a PCM slider on my hda_intel care (Mac Mini) which does nothing >>>> useful.

The section above also shows why lines without linebreaks are bad.
