I've tried AC3/DTS pass-through and after while AV receiver lost signal. I've also tried it on Windows 7, there is everything OK so no hardware problem. Normal PCM stereo digital-out works properly.

I should report that I now have been running an X-Fi XtremeGamer connected to a 7.1 processor via optical out on the card for 3 days straight with no failures. I am using a driver from unstable (not the released driver posted on the ALSA site). Analog sound is also very good.
The spdif failures I reported earlier seem to have been corrected. The only complaint that I do have is alsamixer not behaving exactly right but that is OK - xine, mplayer controls work fine.Comment

I tried that one and the others in dev. I found this one (http://www.moobash.com/cont/alsa-dri...napshot.tar.gz) that works...Comment

I have tried that driver and still had problems. The one I found was references in an ALSA forum - it is alsa-driver-unstable-snapshot.tar.gz located at moobash.com/contComment

ALSA v1.0.21-4 seems to work fine on Mint Linux 7 x64.Comment

Which x-fi card are you using and where did you get the driver?Comment

I'm using the X-Fi Xtreme Gamer Super Mega Duper Fatality edition. Mine is really the x-treme gamer Fatality card. It doesn't have the front panel though.
I just installed ALSA v1.0.21. There is a tutorial on how to do it.
Follow the tutorial and you should be fine. Keep in mind that Mint 8 will have native support as Ubuntu 9.10 already has the driver backported to 1.0.20.Comment

I did a Ubuntu 9.10 install to replace 9.04 on this machine and my x-fi works right out of the box. I'm so glad that all my hardware works without having to install drivers save for nVidia, build-essentials, and proprietary codecs.Comment
