Hi All, Have spent a couple of days researching this issue and come up empty. I hope someone can help as this is stopping an otherwise perfect HTPC build (and I have no option for an external soundcard, except maybe usb). I am running an Asus p5b-e motherboard with onboard soundmax AD1988 sound chip. OS is Suse 10.2 kernel 2.6.18.8-01-default. Initially using alsa 1.0.13-22. The machines is hooked via coaxial spdif to an external Onkyo 777 amp. I have configured all audio to go to spdif via .asoundrc and I get audio in all applications as expected. The results I get are this: 1. Any DTS or AC3 audio routed via spdif works perfectly, crystal clear. 2. Any PCM audio (avi, mp3, wav) etc routed via SPDIF exhibits distortion. the distortion happens at any volume and doesn't get worse as volume increases. I have compiled 1.0.14rc3 from source and installed however the problem persists. Research had me thinking that I have an issue with 48khz output but I've since had windows on the machine and found no problems with 44.1khz or 48khz PCM output over spdif. Any help anyone could offer would be very much appreciated. At the moment this is a showstopper for me. Thanks. Cheers, Rick. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
