Hello, my system is based on Fedora 11 x86_64 full updated. With latest updates I have now, after reboot: alsa-lib-devel-1.0.22-2.fc11.x86_64 alsa-utils-1.0.21-2.fc11.x86_64 alsa-lib-1.0.22-2.fc11.x86_64 alsa-lib-1.0.22-2.fc11.i586 I got alsa-info uploaded at: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=08339e39e521deb63c3ba5aa68655f545c1361ca where I see that actually I have now: Driver version: 1.0.20 Library version: 1.0.22 Utilities version: 1.0.21 Analog output works, optical doesn't. MB is Asus M4A785TD-V EVO. lspci gives: 00:14.2 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA) lspci -v gives: 00:14.2 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA) Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc.

I downloaded dts samples at http://www.kellyindustries.com/sounds.html and then, using mplayer as probvided by F11: [gcecchi@tekkaman dts_tests]$ mplayer -ao alsa -ac hwdts dts_the_other_side_44khz.wav MPlayer SVN-r29701-4.4.1 (C) 2000-2009 MPlayer Team mplayer: could not connect to socket mplayer: No such file or directory Failed to open LIRC support.

I'm not currently using any model= string in alsa-base.conf file in /etc/modprobe.d directory. alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel remove snd-hda-intel { /usr/sbin/alsactl store 0 >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-hda-intel alias snd-card-1 snd-usb-audio options snd-usb-audio index=1 remove snd-usb-audio { /usr/sbin/alsactl store 0 >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-usb-audio I remember on a Intel DP35DP mb that I needed to use options snd-hda-intel model=ref index=0 to have audio working, but it was another chipset..... Do I have to set any model for the Via VT1708S one? Another thing: in the test above the "fuser" command shows that mplayer is using the second "device" of the first card, correct? If I try to play a video where I have dts stream (mplayer says Track ID 2: audio (A_DTS) "DTS ITA", -aid 0, -alang ita ) with the command mplayer -ao alsa -aid 0 video_file I see instead: Opening audio decoder: [libdca] DTS decoding with libdca Stream with high frequencies VQ coding AUDIO: 48000 Hz, 2 ch, s16le, 768.0 kbit/50.00% (ratio: 96000->192000) Selected audio codec: [dts] afm: libdca (DTS-libdca) ========================================================================== AO: [alsa] 48000Hz 2ch s16le (2 bytes per sample) Starting playback... and fuser shows [root@tekkaman ~]# fuser /dev/snd/* /dev/snd/controlC0: 18008 /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p: 18008m /dev/snd/timer: 18008 using the first device, but even in this case no sound. Tipically when signal arrives, I see on my receiver a led named "LOCK" that blinks and that means something is arriving from optical... now instead I see nothing.. As I saw that also pulseaudio was using my files in /dev/snd, I disabled it, to verify if it could be the problem, this way: - create ~/.pulse/client.conf with autospawn = no - kill pulseaudio with pulseaudio -k run as the user logged in in my gnome environment - run the tests Also, in alsamixer is all unmuted and I see S/PDIF S/PDIF Default PCM S/PDIF 1 Independent HP (now it is On) How are these mapped to optical and hdmi outputs? Which ones are supported? What is the Independent HP switch for? Hope to have given enough information for getting some help and sorry for so many answers in one post.... Don't hesitate to ask anything, eventually to be done in Windows environment. PS: I'm going to install F12 on another partition. Is this supposed to work better with spdif output on this chip eventually?
