spacecab Wrote:Hi, i'm using Ubuntu 9.10 too, on a Zotac IONITX-A-E (same audio-chipset) and could get all outputs working.
Here's how:
Get rid of ALSA, Pulseaudio and ALSA-Utils by "sudo apt-get autoremove pulseaudio alsa-base alsa-utils".
Then get following packages by apt-get:
- ncurses-dev
- libncursesw5-dev
- xmlto (installs the whole TeX-stuff, abut 500MB)
Next, get the sources of alsa-driver 1.0.21, alsa-utils 1.0.21 and alsa-lib 1.0.21a and compile them.
http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Download (I've chosen the mirror from cybermirror.org, there are almost all previous versions of alsa)
Don't use the actual v1.0.22, it won't work for this!
If alsa-utils complains about something missing with xgettext (don't remeber exactly), try "./configure --disable-nls" - you won't need it anyway.
When finished, you should get output on all three devices with following .asoundrc:
Code:pcm.!default {

pcm "both"

pcm.receiver {

pcm.analog {

In XBMC you have to choose "Digital Audio" with "Audio Output - default", to get it working. "Passthrough" is not needed in that case.
