Post subject:  ALSA Sound (I think)
I just hooked up my surround sound and would naturally like to use it with knopp. I followed http://www.knoppmythwiki.org/index.php? ... AudioHowTo and no luck. It seems that whenever I try to run any of the alsa-utils, the program just gives up and I can't kill it or anything. For example, if I run speaker-test, it just sits there after saying something about 16 octaves. aplay exits fine if I use -L to output, but not if I try and play something. If I change the audio settings in myth to
Code:
 Audio output device        = ALSA:cards.pcm.iec958
 Passthrough outputdevice   = Alsa:iec958:{AES0 0x02}
 Enable AC3 to SPDIF passthrough   check
 Enable DTS to SPDIF passthrough   check


I get the following in the frontend log when I try to play a recording:
Opening ALSA audio device 'iec958:{ AES0 0x02 }'.
TV Error:StartPlayer(): NVP is not playing after 20000 msec

and then I can't esc out of it or anything. Let me know what outputs of what programs and logs you need and I will get it. Thanks.

What do you get when you run "aplay -l", and "lsmod | grep snd"?

Code:
$ aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: CK804 [NVidia CK804], device 0: Intel ICH [NVidia CK804]
  Subdevices: 0/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: CK804 [NVidia CK804], device 2: Intel ICH - IEC958 [NVidia CK804 - IEC958]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0


But it doesn't exit, it just sits like this. (Can't kill it with control-C either)

Code:
$ lsmod | grep snd

Installed the next version of Knoppmyth. Apparently I did an upgrade just before the most recent version came out and I thought I had the newest one. The ALSA stuff no longer hangs, but still no SPDIF sound. I changed part of the /etc/asound.conf to

Code:
pcm.!default {
  type plug
  slave.pcm "dmix-digital"
}
pcm.dmix-digital {
  type dmix
  ipc_key 1235
  slave {
    pcm "digital-hw"
    period_time 0
    period_size 1024
    buffer_size 4096
    rate 48000
  }
}

pcm.digital-hw {
  type hw
  card 0
   device 2
}

After some digging I have found a couple sites that say that SPDIF with my motherboard (Gigabyte GA-K8NF-9) is broken. Anyone have any experience with this?

I don t have the same board but i succeed with the information in this threads. My new Sourrounfd system is working fine now (Realtek ALC880). It s tricky but it s working great. Thanks to Yaplej.

Ok, well I decided to scrap the whole thing. My roommate had a old Sound Blaster Live! card (model #CT4830) so we threw that in, turned off the output on my motherboard, and it now it works fine. So I guess I'll just buy it from him when I move out (or get my own, as they are 10 bucks on ebay right now). Problem solved.
