[mythtv-users] Problem with AC3, Audigy, and Pinnacle PCTV HD 800i

[Adam Miskiewicz]

I think you're officially my good luck charm today.  When I tried  
those settings earlier it would cause the video to be unsteady, as in  
the video shakes...lol...i don't know how else to describe it.   
Anyway, it seems to work.

And one more quick question...is there a way to modify that  
asound.conf file to allow me to change the volume of the spdif out  
using the computer?  Or do I have to only use the receiver in order to  
make it work properly?

Thanks!
