I cannot seem to get both of them to work at the same time. If I enable aureal drivers in modules.conf, the em8300 only works with analog output. The digital output is not working. If I enable only em8300, then the rest of my system does not have sound but I have audio and digital output via the hollywood plus card.
my modules.conf: (both em8300 and aureal enabled - allows analog output of oss, allows use of aureal arts server and hence sound for the rest of the KDE apps)

I am not sure what the sound-service entry do. I got it off the internet on
