Wow, seriously? The advice I've always seen for HTPCs is to disable pulseaudio, but I was thinking about trying out pulse when I upgrade mine to F14. Guess not. To the OP, try taking pulse out of the equation by removing alsa-plugins-pulseaudio. On my F12 HTPC, digital passthrough works on both HDMI and optical with that setup. Places like the XBMC forums and/or the Linux forums over at avsforum can be quite helpful for this. -- Joshua Baker-LePain QB3 Shared Cluster Sysadmin UCSF -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
