Distortion via SPDIF

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Greetings list,

I've just setup a new PC with an AD 1988B sound chip on the  
motherboard; it's hooked into my home theatre using an optical spdif  
cable. I can play audio files using DTS and AC3 passthrough direct to  
the receiver without issue. However, playing non encoded audio (MP3s,  
FLAC audio, etc) is distorted through all volume levels. It also  
doesn't make any difference if I have the IEC958 mixer level at 20% or  
100%.

I'm running ALSA 1.0.14 from Kernel 2.6.23, using the snd-hda-intel  
driver. It presents two devices on the card, I've set the PCM default  
to the digital device in asound.conf.

# aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: AD198x Analog [AD198x Analog]
   Subdevices: 1/1
   Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 1: AD198x Digital [AD198x Digital]
   Subdevices: 1/1
   Subdevice #0: subdevice #0


What can I try to stop this distorted audio playback?

Regards,
Tom
