Well, here is one more thing to try:

I used the following settings to get AC3 working. See the post above to
understand how I arrived at these values. Also, at one time i did have
an SB Audigy 2 ZS installed. It worked fine with AC3 pass through for
me.

Audio output device:
"ALSA:iec958:CARD=0,AES0=0x6,AES1=0x82,AES2=0x0,AES3=0x2"

Passthrough output device: "Default"

Enable AC3 to SPDIF passthrough: [checked]

Enable DTS to SPDIF passthrough: [checked]

Aggressive Sound card Buffering: [not checked]

Use internal volume controls: [not checked]
