[linux-audio-user] ALSA and SPDIF for via82xx - alt: choice of SPDIF cards

Hi, I have been trying to get a via82xx on a DFI mobo to output SPDIF. (The reason: the analog audio on the right side is noisy.) Anyway, I have had no luck. I brought the SPDIF pins out but I see no clock when checking with other hardware. If I could get this working it would mean I won't need to search for another card. If anyone has experience with getting SPDIF working on a via82xx I'd appreciate any help. I've visited http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=via8233 and related links but no help so far. ----- Besides that: Can anyone recommend a card where SPDIF is a breeze to set up? ;-) I have a Cardeluxe (which works great in Win2k) and a Delta-66 in other machines. I haven't revisited the drivers to see if Delta-66 SPDIF drivers are working yet. However, I don't want to spend too much $$$ on this new card (It's for mythtv). Any recommendations for a SPDIF card is much appreciated! thanks! brad
