I don't believe just putting ALSA in the box would do much. The myth

It takes the rest and calls snd_pcm_open for that hardware device.

I never did get igital out working as it was intended, have posted both

howto), and yes, I double checked my devices (nforce 4).

No, it doesn't mean that it's not compiled in. You have to type in the

Everything is running into my AV Receiver, that's where my volume is
