I'm hoping that someone knowledgeable here might be able to help me out with
this problem. I have a SB Audigy sound card (00:0f.0 Multimedia audio
controller: Creative Labs SB Audigy (rev 04)) and I had been using it
successfully under FC4 for quite some time. I have an optical cable connecting
the card to my receiver. In the past, I had no trouble playing back both
analog and digital audio through this interface. For digital audio (e.g.
playing a DVD), I normally used the command "mplayer -ao alsa -ac hwac3
dvd://". Great, no problems.
A few days ago, I upgraded my box to FC6 (Linux version 2.6.19-1.2895.fc6). At
first, everything was working great. Analog audio still played fine. Then, I
popped in a DVD with digital audio, and watched it. No problems there.
However, after that first time playing back digital audio in FC6, now analog
audio no longer works. Everything looks fine as far as I can tell. No strange
error messages. mplayer acts like it's playing everything just fine. My
receiver indicates that it gets a signal from the PC. There's just no sound.
Digital audio playback still works fine. I've gone through alsamixer with a
fine-toothed comb. I have "IEC958 Optical Raw" muted. I have "Audigy
Analog/Digital Output Jack" unmuted. As far as I can tell, from a
configuration standpoint, and looking at the mixer controls, everything is set
up exactly as it was in FC4, when all was well.
Any suggestions as to what I can try, or where I can look for more info to try
to track down the cause of the problem?
Thanks.
