Comment 27 for bug 213206

1. This is a bug in the hardy release of Ubuntu.
My system has onboard sound - no sound card.
The onboard sound chip is: Device: SoundMAXR ADI AD1988B.

2. I reported this as a bug in hardy because it worked in prior releases
Of Ubuntu.
3. I route the digital output {SPDIF signal] to an external amp.
This works in Windows but not in hardy Ubuntu - a loss of functionality
Which worked in prior releases.
4. TO fix this ASAP, try installing a prior release of Ubuntu.
