four months? i discovered gentoo september 19 and have everything that
i need set up now (and today i discovered i can use cooledit96 under
wine!). redhat sucks. suse is great for easy use.
anyway, i've got the same audio chipset, as well as an audiophile 2496,
but my motherboard (kt400-alh) has analog 5.1 output, no digital. i can
try to see if that option works under linux, thoough, if you think it will
help you.
also, make sure you are using a proper spdif cable (75 ohm, i think), and
not just any rca cable as it won't work. i wish i could find one of those
here in korea.
ffiw,
dave
