Following up on my earlier posting on the AD2000BX/AD1989B SPDIF support being broken, I figured out the required fixes, and they are waiting in the sound-2.6 kernel tree for the next merge window
I got it working in Ubuntu - I had to recompile the kernel (2.6.27 + pulling the topic/hda branch where your patches reside into it) and upgrade it to the "8.10 beta" version which bundles in the newer version of ALSA (I tried to re-work the version of ALSA on my own on the older version, but it failed miserably)
Anyway - I was pleasantly surprised to hear my login noise after booting up - and I've now got MythTV spitting out audio over the HDMI ( SPDIF header -> connector on Nvidia 9500GT card -> HDMI ).
So, thanks again. Your patch for the AD2000B most definitely works - even if the chip doesn't really exist ;)
I just managed to get it working, which would answer my own question. (I just found where to unmute the digital output.) It works in 2.6.28 -> Patch included. /Leif

Date: 2009-08-15 09:40 pm (UTC)Was the patch merged into 2.6.28?
(I have 2.6.28 and am having trouble getting the SPDIF to work, and I would like to know that it's a point to keep trying.)
