Description: Hello - I've been trying for a few weeks now to get SPDIF out working on my Soundblaster 24bit card working. The issue is that the output to my receiver is very low, if I crank it way up (-8db), I can hear some audio, but it is very muffled and distored. I've tried various setting combinations in alsamixer, to no avail. I'm also a little curious as to why this soundcard has no master volume or PCM controls. ====================================================================== ---------------------------------------------------------------------- jcdutton - 05-29-05 12:23 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Have you adjusted the volume controls in alsamixer? "SPDIF Front" and selected "SPDIF Out" to not say [Off] ? Are you looking at the Creative instructions for "Watching DVDs" ? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- dacid - 05-30-05 15:35 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Yup. I've got SPDIF Out activated, and all 4 SPDIF volume sliders are cranked up. As for the instructions - yes, I am following the left portion (mono miniplug-to-RCA cable) of the "Watching DVDs" section. One thing I noticed that seems a bit strange: My test files are 2 channel audio, but playback is occuring on all 5 speakers....
