I resetup the cards, and now the system only recognizes and the chaintech 710.
I set the "passthru device" to ALSA:iec958:{ AES0 0x02} (that is the only selectable option now)
With that set as the passthru device and the passthru options selected, I can hear recodings, but when I play something with an AC3 soundtrack I get no sound but the stereo receiver shows it is getting a AC3 3/2 signal...
I should mention that when I type in "alsaconfig" into a shell to try and unmute the iec958 I get an "unrecognized command", however, I can use "alsamixer" which is what I have been using to try and unmute the iec958...
Does that help or muddy the issue(s)?
I don't know what "alsaconfig" does, are you referring to alsaconf? I should also mention here that I am running on a tweaked R5D1 installation, so my "solution" may no longer apply to newer KM versions.
In the other post I referred to I used
alsamixer to unmute ALL of the IEC958 mixers. I don't have the AV-710 so I don't know what IEC958 options you are seeing (and I most likely didn't have to unmute ALL of mine, but it works), but be sure to right-arrow all the way over to make sure you haven't missed any.
If all else fails you may want to check Human's posts, as I believe his Dragon systems utilize the AV-710 and he may have more insight for you.
If I start an AC3 video and then mess around with the alsamixer there are two controls that say "IEC958" and "IEC958 1", and they are currently set to "PCM Out", if I change them to "H/W in 0", "H/W in 1", "IEC958 In L" or "IEC958 In R" then I get a stuttering static sound and the AC3 light on the stereo goes out. If I set it back to PCM OUT then the AC3 light on the stereo goes back on, but I have no sound...
Inbetween those two settings there is "ICEC958 Output". If it is set to "MM" then I get nothing on AC3 or PCM sound. If I set it to "00" then I get the PCM sound but no AC3 (but the stereo AC3 indicator lights up).
Further to the right in the alsamixer there are settings for rate peak and such... but those don't seem to have anything to do with AC3...
