Post subject:  R5F1, hd550, ALSA, spdif solutions

I just did a fresh install of R5F1 on a shuttle SK41G with a hd5500 capturing HDTV ota.

I ran into a few major conflicts between ALSA and the hd5500.

Anything calling ALSA would freeze up. I tried the old fix of adding cx88_alsa to the blacklist to no avail. I was about to give up and then:

rename cx88-alsa.ko to cx88-alsa.no
Code:
mv /lib/modules/2.6.18-chw-13/kernel/drivers/media/video/cx88/cx88-alsa.ko /lib/modules/2.6.18-chw-13/kernel/drivers/media/video/cx88/cx88-alsa.no


then update ALSA.

I updated ALSA to 1.0.14rc4 (driver lib and utils)
Straightforward make install with the folloing ./configure

./configure --with-cards=via82xx --with-sequencer=yes
note: this will change depending on your specific hardware

After install
Code:
chmod a+rw /dev/dsp /dev/mixer /dev/sequencer /dev/midi
reboot


load modules
Code:
modprobe snd-via82xx;modprobe snd-pcm-oss;modprobe snd-mixer-oss;modprobe snd-seq-oss


Alsa config
Code:
alsaconf


Alsa mixer
Code:
alsamixer


Set audio device in general settings of mythtv to
Code:
ALSA:spdif


I now have digital audio working and more importantly ALSA is working.

For reference I have 720p output with only a athlon 2600 and a geforce fx5200.
