I know all about those. I've tried them all. I've gone through all the online discussions about how to get digital outputs to work with pulseaudio. I've hacked at the config files and tried to trace the operation. I've been doing this with every update since pulseaudio was introduced, and they're all clean installs, not upgrades. It worked just fine with ALSA. I've even run GNOME sound properties, despite not running a GNOME desktop. I haven't yet tried F18 though, because I don't yet have the spare days it takes to do that. It just doesn't work. I know the hardware works, because XBMC uses the digital output just fine (and sounds seriously better). The motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R although I do have an HDMI-compatible video card (and yes, I know you have to disable audio on that, the video card is much more recent than my PA woes). 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) HD Audio Controller 03:00.1 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc Barts HDMI Audio [Radeon HD 6800 Series] 07:00.1 Multimedia controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Audio Capture (rev 02) -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
