Just upgraded the catalyst driver in Mythbuntu setup from 8.4 to 8.10. My system is built around a Gigabyte MA78GM-S2H, which I'm using the integrated HD3200 GPU for display output. The audio is connected to my Yamaha receiver via an optical spdif connector, which I've configured in mythtv to passthrough ac3/dts to be decoded by the receiver.
When I tried to play a recording, the video hangs and my receiver, which normally displays the type of audio stream, whether ac3 or dts or pcm, via the lcd, gets crazy and starts cycling though all of them. It seems to me the 780g chipset is just outputting garbage on spdif and my receiver just didn't know what to do with it. The same thing happens with a 5.1 clip as well as a 2 channel one.
I then gave mplayer a try and it hung before opening a video window right when it's trying to detect the audio. I had mplayer set to use hwac3.
Any ideas? All of this used to be fine on 8.4 and broke right after I installed 8.10
