Hello, I have a dp35dp motherboard with a Fedora 10 x86_64 system installed. Excuse my ignorance about ADAT. I have the optical output connected to the optical input of an olidata speaker system and it works under linux. The olidata specs are at http://www.olidata.com/Prodotti_Vendita/Prodotti/Scheda_Tecnica.asp?Articolo=Audio/ACSP51S01.xml I also have WIndows XP on this machine. Let me know if I can be of any help for you, but perhaps I would need any hw to test what you are asking...? In any case these are informations for my system that is an up2date x86_64 f10, without customizations. For example I can play a dvd with dts track this way: mplayer dvd:// -ao alsa:device=hw=1.0 -aid 138 -ac hwdts with input setup as optical and mode setup as digital on the olidata speaker system I get [snip] Forced audio codec: hwdts Opening audio decoder: [hwac3] AC3/DTS pass-through S/PDIF No accelerated IMDCT transform found hwac3: switched to DTS, 1536000 bps, 48000 Hz AUDIO: 48000 Hz, 2 ch, ac3, 1536.0 kbit/100.00% (ratio: 192000->192000) Selected audio codec: [hwdts] afm: hwac3 (DTS through S/PDIF) ========================================================================== [AO_ALSA] alsa-lib: conf.c:3843:(parse_args) Unknown parameter AES0 [AO_ALSA] alsa-lib: conf.c:3969:(snd_config_expand) Parse arguments error: No such file or directory [AO_ALSA] alsa-lib: pcm.c:2202:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM hw:1,0,AES0=6 AO: [alsa] 48000Hz 2ch ac3 (1 bytes per sample) [snip] (btw the film is Basic Instinct, took the opportunity to see some awesome scenes again... ;-) the first card is provided by a webcam inside a 22" dell monitor [gcecchi@tekkaman ~]$ cat /proc/asound/cards 0 [SP2208WFP ]: USB-Audio - Monitor Webcam (SP2208WFP) Mic-OmniVision Technologies, Inc.538-2640-07.08.09.6 Monitor Webcam (SP2208WFP) 1 [Intel ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel HDA Intel at 0x90320000 irq 22 [gcecchi@tekkaman ~]$ cat /proc/asound/version Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.17. actually it is 1.0.18 rc3 [gcecchi@tekkaman ~]$ rpm -qa|grep alsa alsa-lib-1.0.18-6.rc3.fc10.x86_64 alsa-lib-1.0.18-6.rc3.fc10.i386 bluez-alsa-4.19-1.fc10.x86_64 alsa-utils-1.0.18-6.fc10.x86_64 alsa-lib-devel-1.0.18-6.rc3.fc10.x86_64 and in changelog for the rpms: * Thu Sep 11 2008 Jaroslav Kysela <jkysela@xxxxxxxxxx> - 1.0.18-6.rc3 - fix /etc directory issue * Thu Sep 11 2008 Jaroslav Kysela <jkysela@xxxxxxxxxx> - 1.0.18-5.rc3 - move alsactl.conf to alsa-utils package * Thu Sep 11 2008 Jaroslav Kysela <jkysela@xxxxxxxxxx> - 1.0.18-4.rc3 - fixed spec file - fixed package version number (1.0.18-3.rc3 was tagged by accident) * Thu Sep 11 2008 Jaroslav Kysela <jkysela@xxxxxxxxxx> - 1.0.18-1.rc3 - updated to 1.0.18rc3 - moved /etc/alsa configuration files back to /usr/share/alsa - removed pulse default patch (moved to /etc/asound.conf) - added /etc/asound.conf and /etc/alsa/alsactl.conf - disable /dev/aload device checking (obsolete for 2.6 kernels) * Sat Aug 16 2008 Jaroslav Kysela <jkysela@xxxxxxxxxx> - 1.0.17-3 - updated to 1.0.17a Cheers, Gianluca On Tue, Jan 13, 2009 at 7:00 PM, Eric <ejaouen@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Does the ADAT output of intel motherboard DP35DP work under linux in > your experience ? > (or DG33TL or other boards from media or extreme intel previous or > current series with IDT/sigmatel STAC927x codec). > Does the STAC927x sigmatel hda codec look like it support their ADAT > output feature ? > here the alsa driver links: > http://lxr.linux.no/linux+v2.6.26.5/sound/pci/hda/patch_sigmatel.c > http://lxr.linux.no/linux+v2.6.26.5/sound/pci/hda/hda_codec.c > > here is the codec datasheet link : > www1.idt.com/products/files/17122877/STAC927x-DS-0-7_IDT.pdf > > the sigmatel STAC9271 datasheet and IDT STAC9274 advertise ADAT output > feature. > DP35DP and other intel boards are proven to have the ADAT output working > under windows. > Is it working in Alsa ?
