I have now looked things up a bit. I have S/PDIF (coaxial) connected to my Harman/Kardon AVR-65, 5.1 receiver. Using Xine as player. When configuring Xine's audio as "Surround 5.1" I looses the speach (center), all other sound works fine. Switching Xine's config to "Pass through" I get a heavy cracking sound and no normal sound. Since I want a pure digital signal to my receiver I think I should use "Pass Through", or? One other thing I can see is that in alsamixer I don't have any DMX controls. I have had them (4 of them I think) in a previous installation. Shouldn't they be here? What can be wrong?
