I've been trying and trying and I just can't seem to get DD/DTS/AC3 to work. My receiver receives PCM just fine so at least I know the physical bits are working.
I have tried both mplayer and ac3dec to drive the card into decoding AC3
but no luck. I believe I have the mixer settings correct. In fact I
think I have everything unmuted and at somewhere in the 2/3 volume
range. I have IEC958 Loop disabled/muted and Direct Recording Source
set to IEC958.
When I use say mplayer to play a raw ac3 file (which it can downmix and
play analog through the liba52 codec) with:
# mplayer -v -ao alsa -afm hwac3
/video/Bjorn_Lynne-A-Lifetime-Of-Moments_\(5-1_surround\).ac3
mplayer tells me:

But still the receiver does not kick into DD to decode.
ac3dec shows/does:
# ac3dec -C /video/Bjorn_Lynne-A-Lifetime-Of-Moments_\(5-1_surround\).ac3
Using PCM device 'plug:iec958:{AES0 0x2 AES1 0x82 AES2 0x0 AES3 0x2}'
AC3 Stream 48.0 KHz 448 kbps
But again, no DD decoding.
Any ideas?
