It seems that if I use a sample rate of 48000khz--as well as changed some other unknown things somewhere--I can get it to work. Now my SBLive also works flawlessly.
I have read some of the archives regarding auich(4) only being able to do 48000khz while the chipset docs say otherwise. Anyone have more details than this? Moreover, if this is the case, is there any way around it besides running esd or the like to do sample rate conversion? I do not want to do that because it sacrifices real-time audio performance for things like video playback. Regards, --Blair P.S. nfe(4) is still broken on my a8n-e (tx error v2: 6004, etc.). Some developers have this motherboard and do not have problems. I really wish I could resolve this.
