If I have activity on 5 channels when watching in Envy24Control is the PCM-stream that is sent from the card automaticly compressed into DTS or any other standard format? > mplayer -ao alsa:device=spdif -afm hwac3 <file> > maybe you have to replace "spdif" with "iec958" > >> mplayer -ao alsa:device=spdif -afm hwac3 <file> Did not work. >> mplayer -ao alsa:device=iec958 -afm hwac3 <file> Did not work. >> mplayer -ac hwac3 <file> Mplayer sends something, somewhere. Now I cant get sound at all though. Have rebooted but no sound. I will try more when I get back from work. I have not yet tested if there is sound over analog PCM.
