Question SP/DIF / AC3 output with MDK 9.1 & SBLive!


I've got a problem getting AC3 / SP/DIF output happening with Mandrake Linux 9.1 with my SBLive! card.
I'm running an unmodified kernal and have Xine playing my DVDs skip free with analogue sound, but I have no a/52 option available to turn on AC3 through SP/DIF.
Has anyone successfully got AC3 passthrough working under Xine with a SBLive! for this OS? Will I need to recompile the kernal?
Thanks,
WildChild

I fixed this some time ago. It was all to do with the sound driver. For some reason ALSA works a whole lot better than OSS. Change your sound driver and have another go.
