Hello all,
I hope someone can help with this problem. I am trying to enable the
PCM (optical) output of my ABIT-AN7 motherboard on Mandrake 10.1
Official. The sound seems to be working fine, but I have the Optical
out plugged into my DTS/DD receiver and would like to be able to watch
DVD's with full Surround sound. The problem is I have no idea how to
enable the PCM output. I am using ALSA and Xine works fine through the
analog output.
