Peter, thank you or the reply.  It is nice to know someone is willing to help.

Yes, that is what I used.  With the first part of the conf file that
is in the wiki, the sound acts the same as it does without having the
file but when I add the second part (below), this is what I get:

ALSA:default, passthrough unchecked  --> fader type analog output, no
digital out
ALSA:multi, passthrough checked --> digital out locked, no analog out.
ALSA:multi, passthrough unchecked -->  no audio at all

Seems like a problem in the analog part of the multi config, but what?

Did you have to make any changes to the files to get them to work?
