[mythtv-users] ALSA Sound

[David ellis]

I'm not familiar with the Chaintech AV710 - but I'm assuming it has  
alsa drivers?

There are two ways to get alsa sound out your digital SPDIG plug in  
MythTV.

1) If you have OSS compatibility turned on change your myth output  
device to /dev/adsp - this will use the OSS mixer to output PCM sound  
via the SPDIF Plug (this has worked for me on two via motherboards, a  
SIS based board and a PCI based MIDI/Sound Card)
2. If you don't want OSS (pure alsa) change your Myth audio device to  
ALSA: iec958. This will not have a mixer (myth audio controls won't  
work), but you will get audio - change your volume on the receiver.
