On the envy24control the PCM Out 1-8 are all pegged. The HW In and S/PDIF show nothing and the Digital Mixer shows nothing. What comes out of the speaker is what I call a digital noise. It has a mid-frequency buzz/hiss and a lower frequency beating noise. It's when the noise is playing that the PCM outs are pegged. The patchbay settings have to be on H/W Out 1/PCM Out 1 and H/W Out 2/PCM Out 2 and when H/W out 1 is on either S/PDIF In L or Digital Mix L. The last two settings make the noise come out of only one channel. A few various other permutations can make the noise play as well, otherwize only silence happens. This is all while I play a wav file with aplay (aplay song.wav) Aplay says: Playing WAVE 'ladysonly2.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 48000 Hz, Stereo. > (And you have tested your amplifier connections etc..) The card works fine with both Mac OS X, and OS 9, though I've only tried playing DVDs and CDs.
