Looks like the ALSA bug tracker is down. I have reuploaded syscrash2k's patch here: http://fjerhammer.dk/ad1988_spdif_crackling.patch (MD5: 105db6f90cb09c7d90aae8fda1410795)
This problem is still present in kernel 3.5. Every Linux user with a ASUS P5*/P6* motherboard that I know of has pretty much given up on digital audio due to this bug. The patch, however, fixes it for me. I don't know if any ALSA developers are watching this bug tracker, but I cannot understand why this bug hasn't at least been looked into yet. Especially P5Q and P6T have been great sellers in the last couple of years, which means that quite a lot of computers out there are unable to use S/PDIF outputs on Linux without excessive distortion. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/359361 Title: ALSA SPDIF Digital output clipping / crackling during playback To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/359361/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
