ALSA Sound After P4-3.4GHz Upgrade

Note, to get sound working had to reboot after the very first bootup on the new mobo (ASUS) and CPU (P4-3.4GHz). On 2nd boot, it was working.

List of ALSA devices:

[root@be ~]# aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: M2496 [M Audio Delta DiO 2496], device 0: ICE1712 multi [ICE1712 multi]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: ICH5 [Intel ICH5], device 0: Intel ICH [Intel ICH5]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: ICH5 [Intel ICH5], device 4: Intel ICH - IEC958 [Intel ICH5 - IEC958]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

Card0 = M-Audio Delta DiO 2496
Card1 = ASUS on-board spdif (coax) sound

Config'd .asoundrc to be:

[root@be ~]# pwd
/root

[root@be ~]# cat .asoundrc
pcm.digital {
type plug
slave.pcm "digital-hw"
}

pcm.digital-hw {
type hw
card 1
device 0
}

Tested with:

[root@be ~]# aplay -D digital bustin.wav

And music played :-)

For MythTV frontend, mythfrontend, set audio device to ALSA:digital to match my .asoundrc

Full ALSA environment is:

[root@be ~]# aplay -L
