Ok, for the last week I've RTFM'd. I've wikid. I've looked through the source. I'm at my wits end. For the love of everything thats holy to geekdom, please read the follow and reply if ya can before I tear my hair out :)
Hardware: 0000:01:06.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB Live! EMU10k1 (rev 07) Software: Alsa in 2.6.2 and 2.6.3rc1 (same results with both). What I'm trying to do is enable the digital coax output (SPDIF) on the back of the Soundblaster 5.1. I know this works because years ago, I had a older Live 4 channel that I used to do the same with under the old OSS drivers. So, I'm modprobing the module with: modprobe snd-emu10k1 extin="0x3fc3" extout="0x1fff" Note that I do NOT have the live drive hooked up (but I do ahve it laying around somewhere). From what I've read in the docs and wiki, this is the correct bitmaps for a 5.1 card with digital out. Analog plays just fine through the front 2 channels. So I know the card is working fine. As far as cabling I have a MONO miniplug going to a single rca plug. this is connected to the Coax in of the receiver. For mixer settings I have No clue what to do. I've read umpteen different things, and alot of the stuff I've googled seems to relate to mizer settings before some of the names changed. Basicly, I have master unmuted at 100%. Bass and Trebble are at 50%. Pcm is at 100% Surround is at 100%. Cant mute it, I tried. Center, LFE and Wave are at 100%. cant mute them either. Music at 100%. IEC958 Coaxial at 100%. ac97 capture at 100%. SB Live Analog/Digital Output Jack [Off]. I've messing with every conceivible option including turning most things off and toggling the SB Live Analog/Digital Output Jack on and off. No matter what I do the analog jack never goes "off" (unless I turn pcm or master down to 0). I would of thought enabling or trying to enable SPDIF would mute the analog.. .but thats an aside and doesnt matter much) What am I doing wrong?
