As stated in my first post, the hardware works on stuff I can direct to that port. I need a working asound.conf so programs that I can't do that with and only use the default port will work. So far 3 forums and Google hasn't gotten me there yet which is frustrating to no end as I would have figured that SOMEONE out in Linux-land would have an answer for this. This card was recommended on a couple of forums and sounds GREAT when it works but for the life of me I can't get the default to work properly.

Barnett Cc: alsa-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Need SPDIF out asound.conf for CMI8768 I have no idea how to do it within the config file. You can google for that. But first check that it works when you use mplayer: mplayer -ao alsa:device=hw=0.2 blah.mp3 You might need to resample to 48K, not sure about it: mplayer -srate 48000 -ao alsa:device=hw=0.2 blah.mp3 If this still doesn't work, try plughw (wiht or without resampling): mplayer -srate 48000 -ao alsa:device=plughw=0.2 blah.mp3 2008/9/12 Eric T.
