I've read many messages from people posting ways that they got it to work, but none of those seemed to work for me.
<br><br>However, today I tried a config setting that was similar to what I use in Xine and I got AC-3 over SPDIF to work. My setting was this in MythTV:<br>ALSA:iec958:AES0=0x6,AES1=0x82,AES2=0x0,AES3=0x2<br><br>It does not matter (I don't think at least), what your .asoundrc is set to in this case. This seems to work perfectly for me, but then again I don't know if it will for you.
<br><br>I have the latest ALSA and its kernel module installed... and other than what tweaks I did on my mixer for sound, I have nothing else set.<br><br>Let me know if it works!<br><br>Chris<br>
