This is a list of sound cards and our experiences with them
| Card | Chip | Type | PCI ID | Subsystem | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Creative Audigy Value
Creative Audigy LS |
Unknown | PCI | ? | ? | Analog Stereo
S/PDIF: PCM, AC3/DTS passthrough This card works fully. However, it need some setup. It lacks a hardware sound mixer, so a sound mixer has to be provided in software. Until this is done, Appserver and Myth will not start up under LMCE. |
| VIA 8237 | Realtek ALC655 rev 0 | on-board | 1106:3059 | 1565:8212 | Analog Stereo
S/PDIF: PCM, AC3/DTS passthrough |
| HDA NVidia | Analog Devices AD1986A | on-board (ASUS M2NPV-VM) | 10DE:026C | 10DE:CB84 | Analog Stereo: this driver is 5.1 native, not stereo. One of the speakers probably gets the LFE and that gives a high pitched sound in the headphones
S/PDIF: PCM, AC3/DTS passthrough |
| Intel ICH5 | Analog Devices AD1888 | on-board | 8086:24D5 | 1043:810D | Analog Stereo
S/PDIF: PCM, AC3/DTS passthrough |
| SB Live [Unknown] | SigmaTel STAC9708,11 | PCI | 1102:0002 | 1102:8067 | Analog Stereo works
S/PDIF is not reliable. At first, there was no S/PDIF output, but, at some point, passthrough started working, but not PCM. On another variation of this card (different subsystem), PCM worked (but not passthrough) after enabling the AC97 loopback (snd-ac97-codec module parameter) and unmuting the ADC/DAC control in alsamixer, but not on this one. When trying to play PCM through S/PDIF, this card clicks once every few seconds (once S/PDIF started to work that is) until the playing is stopped. |
| NVidia CK804 | Realtek ALC850 rev 0 | on-board (ASUS A8N-E) | 10de:0059 | 1043:812a | Analog Stereo works
S/PDIF output works with additional configuration (see below) |
NVidia CK804
In the pluto-admin website under "Wizard:Devices:Media Directors" set the audio to "Manual settings" with "AC3 pass-through" checked for the desired Media Director.
asound.state
Info to come
asound.conf
Info to come
xine.conf
Make the following change to /etc/pluto/xine.conf
Change "#audio.speaker_arrangement:Stereo 2.0"
To read "audio.speaker_arrangement:Pass Through"
If you still do not have success with your CK804 chip, but the KDE sounds come out just fine, change /etc/pluto/xine.conf Change "audio.alsa_front_device:asym_spdif" To read "audio.alsa_front_device:default"
