I have a Chaintech AV710 (Envy24HT) card in an Athlon64 system running Gentoo Linux. I am attempting to configure it to output sound to my stereo through its S/PDIF optical jack. Stereo sound appears to be working (with xmms) if I connect line-out to my stereo, but hooking up digital, speaker-test -c6 produces nothing. Neither does xmms. Running speaker-test -c6 through line-out worked, but only stereo, of course. How do I get surround-sound working, specifically ac3 passthrough for mplayer, etc.? The only thing I see in the system log is this: ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:00:09.0[A] -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 169 ice1724: Invalid EEPROM version 1 Interrupt 169 is the sound card: $ cat /proc/asound/cards 0 [AUDIO2000 ]: ICE1724 - AMP Ltd AUDIO2000 AMP Ltd AUDIO2000 at 0x9000, irq 169 Thanks, Russ ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
