You mean a cd mixer channel for digital audio only shows up if there is a physical analog audio input??? If that's the problem, is there any way to force it? Otherwise, I'm doa without some kind of kernal patch?

No acd in 9.0.

Hmmm. Neither mine nor yours shows any "...Digital> (rec). Should I expect one if things were working properly? Probably not, if the inclusion of cd is just triggered by the analog input, and the card doesn't actually have a physical digital input. >> (cd0:ata2:0:0:0): SCSI sense: ILLEGAL REQUEST asc:2c,0 (Command sequence error) ... > They appear when trying to access the CD drive via "SCSI commands", > i. e. using /dev/cd0. ok, so user generated error by trying to use cd0 instead of cd someplace. >> From the manpage: "The snd_atiixp bridge driver allows the > generic audio driver, sound(4), to attach to ATI IXP audio > devices." Not sure if that applies. Do you have an ATI IXP > audio device? Don't think so. No "ixp" in dmesg The two audio dmesg entries are hdac0: mem 0xfe9bc000-0xfe9bfff hdac1: mem 0xfe6f8000-0xfe6fbfff ir I think the first one is the main one, and the second one is a secondary hd output.
