Hello Tobin! Could you please tell me where to put the "model=6stack-digout" option? On a Debian system I believe it is the /etc/init.d/alsasound script that takes care of starting/stopping the sound drivers. htpc:/home/mythtv# head -n 4 /etc/init.d/alsasound #!/bin/bash # # alsasound This shell script takes care of starting and stopping # the ALSA sound driver. htpc:/home/mythtv# lspci ... 00:10.0 PCI bridge: nVidia Corporation MCP51 PCI Bridge (rev a2) 00:10.1 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP51 High Definition Audio (rev a2) ... htpc:/home/mythtv# lspci -s 00:10 -vn 00:10.0 0604: 10de:026f (rev a2) (prog-if 01 [Subtractive decode]) Flags: bus master, 66MHz, fast devsel, latency 0 Bus: primary=00, secondary=01, subordinate=01, sec-latency=32 I/O behind bridge: 0000a000-0000afff Memory behind bridge: e9000000-e90fffff Prefetchable memory behind bridge: e0000000-e3ffffff Capabilities: [b8] Subsystem: 0000:0000 Capabilities: [8c] HyperTransport: MSI Mapping 00:10.1 0403: 10de:026c (rev a2) Subsystem: 1458:a102 Flags: bus master, 66MHz, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 193 Memory at e9100000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K] Capabilities: [44] Power Management version 2 Capabilities: [50] Message Signalled Interrupts: Mask+ 64bit+ Queue=0/0 Enable- Capabilities: [6c] HyperTransport: MSI Mapping htpc:/home/mythtv# Thanks for the help!
