Hello,<br><br>I have a fresh built HTPC based upon Asus M2NPV-VM (NVIDIA GeForce 6150 + nForce 430). To get it complete I need to solve these issues:<br><br>1. The motherboard have support for S/PDIF and I have bought the bracket for it (optical and coaxial S/PDIF). I have not got this to work and would appreciate any help.
</blockquote></span><div><br>Make sure the input it unmuted. To do this play some music and in terminal run alsamixer. unmute all outputs by pushing the m key and turning the volume up with the arrow keys. usally the output for spdif is labeled "IEC958" then in myth FE, in the setting under general select ALSA:spdif in all boxes. For my two boxes this was all that was required.

The HTPC is connected to a 32" CRT TV (Sony KV-32FX60E). The TV is quite old and have only 3 scarts as input. I have tried to use s-video with s-video/scart adapter but that gives unstable picture (switching between grey and normal) abd therefore I have connected it via composite and composite/scart adapter. The picture does not fill the screen and aren't straight in the edges (not completely in the picture either,
e.g. on the OSD ). How should I setup X to work with a CRT TV?<br><br>3. I miss some information for the TV above such as:<br>- Horizontal/Vertical Sync ?<br>- Recommended resolution ?</blockquote></span><div><br>Not sure about any of this I am in the US.
