Sounds so. Which hardware and driver is it?
- NVidia CK804 (integrated into the motherboard MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum)
aplay -l:
card 0: CK804 [NVidia CK804], device 0: Intel ICH [NVidia CK804] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 0: CK804 [NVidia CK804], device 2: Intel ICH - IEC958 [NVidia CK804 - IEC958] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
The driver won't work properly for SPDIF I/O on nvidia chipset. It cannot set SPDIF status buts correctly. AC3 requires non-audio bit, and some receivers are sensitive for that. DTS doesn't seem to require it (at least most receivers work).
- Alsa drivers 1.0.8-7 (= latest stable version on Debian Sarge)
[2.6.11 kernel, Debian sarge]
Oh hoo, a stone age version...
