I bought the plug on ebay. Of course, I haven't used it yet. Here is my modprobe.conf for my A7N8X-E DLX.
alias eth0 sk98lin alias eth1 forcedeth alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0 options snd-card-0 index=0 install snd-intel8x0 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-intel8x0 && /usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || : remove snd-intel8x0 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-intel8x0 alias usb-controller ehci-hcd alias usb-controller1 ohci-hcd Instead of a .asound, I made an asound.conf and placed it in the /etc directory. It works PERFECTLY for me. You just have to make sure to specify the correct settings in MythFrontend for MythTV and for MythMusic. # Override the default output used by ALSA. # If you do not override the default, your default # device is identical to the (unmixed) analog device # shown below. If you prefer mixed and/or digital # output, uncomment the appropriate four lines below # (only one slave.pcm line). pcm.!default { type plug ## Uncomment the following to use mixed analog by default # slave.pcm "dmix-analog" ## Uncomment the following to use unmixed digital by default slave.pcm "digital-hw" ## Uncomment the following to use mixed digital by default # slave.pcm "dmix-digital" } # Alias for analog output on the nForce2 (hw:0,0) # - This is identical to the device named "default"--which # always exists and refers to hw:0,0 (unless overridden) # - Therefore, we can specify "hw:0,0", "default", or "analog" # to access analog output on the nForce2 pcm.analog { type plug slave.pcm "analog-hw" } # Control device (mixer, etc.) for the nForce2 card ctl.analog { type hw card 0 } # Alias for (rate-converted) mixed analog output on the # nForce2 (hw:0,0) # - This will accept audio input--regardless of rate--and # convert to the rate required for the dmix plugin # (in this case 48000Hz) pcm.mixed-analog { type plug slave.pcm "dmix-analog" } # Control device (mixer, etc.) for the nForce2 card ctl.mixed-analog { type hw card 0 } # Alias for (rate-converted) digital (S/PDIF) output on the # nForce2 (hw:0,2) # - This will accept audio input--regardless of rate--and # convert to the rate required for the S/PDIF hardware # (in this case 48000Hz) pcm.digital { type plug slave.pcm "digital-hw" } # Control device (mixer, etc.) for the nForce2 card ctl.digital { type hw card 0 } # Alias for mixed (rate-converted) digital (S/PDIF) output on the # nForce2 (hw:0,2) # - This will accept audio input--regardless of rate--and # convert to the rate required for the S/PDIF hardware # (in this case 48000Hz) pcm.mixed-digital { type plug slave.pcm "dmix-digital" } # Control device (mixer, etc.) for the nForce2 card ctl.mixed-digital { type hw card 0 } # The following devices are not useful by themselves. They # require specific rates, channels, and formats. Therefore, # you probably do not want to use them directly. Instead use # of of the devices defined above. # Alias for analog output on the nForce2 (hw:0,0) # Do not use this directly--it requires specific rate, # channels, and format pcm.analog-hw { type hw card 0 # The default value for device is 0, so no need to specify } # Control device (mixer, etc.) for the nForce2 card ctl.analog-hw { type hw card 0 } # Alias for digital (S/PDIF) output on the nForce2 (hw:0,2) # Do not use this directly--it requires specific rate, # channels, and format pcm.digital-hw { type hw card 0 device 2 } # Control device (mixer, etc.) for the nForce2 card ctl.digital-hw { type hw card 0 } # Direct software mixing plugin for analog output on # the nForce2 (hw:0,0) # Do not use this directly--it requires specific rate, # channels, and format pcm.dmix-analog { type dmix ipc_key 1234 slave { pcm "analog-hw" period_time 0 period_size 1024 buffer_size 4096 rate 48000 } } # Control device (mixer, etc.) for the nForce2 card ctl.dmix-analog { type hw card 0 } # Direct software mixing plugin for digital (S/PDIF) output # on the nForce2 (hw:0,2) # Do not use this directly--it requires specific rate, # channels, and format pcm.dmix-digital { type dmix ipc_key 1235 slave { pcm "digital-hw" period_time 0 period_size 1024 buffer_size 4096 rate 48000 } } # Control device (mixer, etc.) for the nForce2 card ctl.dmix-digital { type hw card 0 } In MythTVFrontend ---Setup for the audio device I put in ALSA:digital (this is my default setting in the asound.conf above). For the mixer device, I put in: default. For MythMusic setup I did the same thing, ALSA:digital. I am not sitting in front of my machine right now or I would have the exact menu structure down.
