<div>Okay, </div>
<div>I found this online, and I know it says to tweak it, but i'm not sure how to do that. i can watch HDTV no problem using my hd3000 card, but the sound is nothing but static. Now I can hear music and tv fine over the analog output, but no sound via spdif output both are from onboard audio. This first part is what I get when i run aplay -l. I've read of other people having the same problem...but i can't seem to fix mine.

<br>[mythtv@localhost ~]$<br><br><br><br># ~/.asoundrc or /etc/asound.conf<br># ALSA configuration file<br><br>##### USAGE #####<br># Save this file as "~/.asoundrc" (for user-specific sound configuration) or<br>
# "/etc/asound.conf" (for system-wide sound configuration) and specify ALSA<br># device names ad described in the next section.<br><br><br>##### DEVICE NAMES #####<br># This configuration file defines four devices for use by the user. Those
<br># devices are "analog", "mixed-analog", "digital", and "mixed-digital". The<br># user may also re-define "default" to be identical to one of the above-named<br># devices (
i.e. to send all sound output to the digital output unless otherwise<br># specified). Use the device names as described below:<br># - "analog" outputs to the analog output directly and (at least on software<br>
# sound cards) blocks other audio output. After playback completes, "queued"<br># sounds are output in sequence.<br># - "mixed-analog" mixes audio output from multiple programs into the analog<br># output (so you can hear beeps, alerts, and other noises while playing back
<br># an audio stream).<br># - "digital" outputs to the digital output directly. Since most (all?)<br># digital outputs expect 48kHz PCM audio, this may not work for some playback<br># (i.e. CD's--which are
44.1kHz PCM audio--or 32kHz audio streams from TV<br># recordings, etc.).<br># - "mixed-digital"<br><br># All other devices created within this file are used only by the configuration<br># file itself and should /not/ be used directly. In other words, do not use
<br># the devices "analog-hw", "dmix-analog", "digital-hw", or "dmix-digital".<br><br><br>##### IMPORTANT #####<br># To make this ALSA configuration file work with your sound card, you will need
<br># to define the appropriate card and device information for the "analog-hw" and<br># "digital-hw" devices below. You can find the card and device information<br># using "aplay -l".<br><br>
<br>##### Configuration File #####<br><br># Override the default output used by ALSA. If you do not override the<br># default, your default device is identical to the (unmixed) "analog" device<br># shown below. If you prefer mixed and/or digital output, uncomment the
<br># appropriate four lines below (only one slave.pcm line).<br>#<br># Note, also, that as of ALSA 1.0.9, "software" sound cards have been modified<br># such that their default "default" device is identical to the "mixed-analog"
<br># device. Whether using an ALSA version before or after 1.0.9, it does no harm<br># and has no affect on performance to redefine the device (even if the<br># redefinition does not change anything). Also, by using this ALSA
<br># configuration file, you once again have access to unmixed analog output using<br># the "analog" device.<br>pcm.!default {<br> type plug<br>## Uncomment the following to use "mixed-analog" by default
