there is a mixer switch "SB Live Analog/Digital Output Jack", which
you can find at the right side (after scrolling) on alsamixer.
turn it off via 'M' key.

or, run
	% amixer 'SB Live Analog/Digital Output Jack' off

then you'll get analog signals from the center jack.


when you play the digital signals (e.g. via xine), it will turn on the
digital mode automatically, and reset it when closed.
