Hello, I am experiencing a strange problem after a motherboard upgrade. I could play stereo audio over SPDIF but the AC3 and DTS passtrough works only after reboot - I am not sure when it stops working, but it does not live longer than one day. However stereo still works. It is not related to whenever I play stereo or ac3/dts content, after the reboot everything works well. It's quite a bad behaviour, since I have to reboot my machine every evening before playing a movie :/ The board: Asus P5Q-E (HDA Intel / AD1989B) Kernel: does not matter (used 2.6.31 and 2.6.32), Gentoo Alsa: 1.0.21 Are there any commands which can help to determine the source of the issue? I am using an external decoder in speakers (Logitech Z5500) which detect the stream type correctly (codec + channel count) but I have no sound. The other speakers (Edirol MA15D) are producing a strange noise, since the vendor probably forgot to mute compressed streams :) This noise is present in both working and non-working time and for me it is indistinguishable. When I was writing this email, I've tried to rmmod snd_hda_intel, then modprobe it, and the AC3/DTS worked again, without reboot. Any ideas?
