Actually, I lied. I had a typo and that's why I was getting the "No sch
file" error. It's been a long day of trying to get this SPDIF working.
What I do get when it's set to ALSA:digital is the chipmunk effect.
That's what I'd like to get fixed up. A little background:
I record from a DCT-6412 over firewire.
HD channels, audio is good
Analog channels, audio sounds like chipmunks
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
