Audio in 1004

Alternate sound configurations can be set in /etc/pluto.conf. MOST sound cards should not require this. This can be done at avwizard on the Audio Selector step 5, or at any time by running /usr/pluto/bin/SetupAudioVideo.sh. Audio/video should NOT be actively playing when running this.

AlternateSC = null : Most cards function without this parameter, this is the default default.

• Analog, Optical, Coax and HDMI are treated the way they always have been, given only the card# to write to
• nVidia GT series HDMI is automatically detected, and given a special set of values, also using the card and the device number.

AlternateSC = 1 : Should only be necessary with some newer non-GT series nvidia and oddballs.

• Analog.2C_Optical.2C_Coax, Optical, and Coax are given the card# and the device# to write to the confs.

AlternateSC = 2 : should only be necessary for HDMI oddballs that do not work under other two schemes, covers newer equipment.

• HDMI are given the GT series extended scheme, including both the card# and device#.
