All, This is not completely pertinent to the alsa group, but
the community seems like a good place to ask this advice of. Make a long story short, I have an ASUS motherboard
with C-Media 6501 USB (onboard) audio. The audio works, even though the quality
is crappy and distorted. I’m not pursuing it heavily because the
main reason I bought this board was the for SPDIF output. Turns out..
it’s not supported. http://www.cmedia.com.tw/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1295 “The S/PDIF implementation of
this device does not conform to the USB Audio Specification. Enabling the
output would require some vendor-specific message that C-Media keeps
secret” So, now I am in the market for a sound
card.. it must have SPDIF output. My only problem.. I have no more PCI
slots. I am bound to the PCI Express, USB, or firewire. I can’t find many cards except
for the Creative Labs X-Fi that seems to fit both.. and from what I read SPDIF
passthrough doesn’t work. I’m not 100% sure what
that means. (Pretty new to this level of audio) Does anyone have any recommended cards
that fit both PCI Express, USB, or firewire and SPDIF out? Thanks! |
