Dear Benjamin,

FYI, the below system required the following non-default settings for ALSA to play any SPDIF output correctly. Prior to finding this setting, output from different sources, WAV, MP3, CD, etc, were played at a slightly faster speed than they should have.
snd_via82xx: dxs_support=3
When installed, the default setting was dxs_support=5.
Hope this helps. I am new to Linux and it took me quite a while to find out how to set this setting (I put it in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf)
thank you very much for reporting that issues especially if you are new to GNU/Linux!
I have some questions and remarks.
Thanks for attaching/pasting the output of `alsa-info.sh`. This means you informed yourself beforehand what is needed for debugging. Next time please turn of line wrapping when pasting stuff though. Although I do not know how to do that with Google Mail.

!!Soundcards recognised by ALSA !!-----------------------------
0 [V8237 ]: VIA8237 - VIA 8237 VIA 8237 with VT1616i at 0xe400, irq 22 1 [Live ]: EMU10K1 - SB Live! Platinum [CT4760P] SB Live! Platinum [CT4760P] (rev.8, serial:0x80401102) at 0xb000, irq 17
Just for me, is it true you have an extra SB Live card or is that also from the motherboard? Sorry for my ignorance.

!!Modprobe options (Sound related) !!--------------------------------
snd_via82xx: index=0 snd_emu10k1: index=1 snd_via82xx: dxs_support=4

snd_via82xx: index=0 snd_emu10k1: index=1 snd_via82xx: dxs_support=3 snd_via82xx: ac97_clock=48000
These seem to be the options from `alsa-base.conf`. I do not know if it is provided from upstream ALSA or by the distribution, in this case Ubuntu.
Did you set the/changed it to `4` there or was it there by default? alsa it looks like some lines are doubles. Probably from debugging and just cosmetics though.
Thanks,
Paul
