mini-itx.com - guide - ac3 output on epia: "Step by Step: EPIA 5.1 Digital Audio
Posted on March 4, 2003
The EPIA 5000 and 800 motherboards come with a dual purpose RCA Out and S/PDIF socket which can be used to play AC3 5.1 digital audio to a standard Dolby Digital amplifier. Increasingly, DivX and XviD encoded content is provided with AC3 sound. Here's how to get digital sound out of those DivXes and into your amplifier using just a standard phono cable.
1. Enable the RCA / S/PDIF selection jumper J11 on your motherboard to connect pins 3 and 4. This is what it should look like (it's the blue bit):
2. Make sure you have a video codec installed. In most cases this will be from http://www.divx.com.
3. Install the latest version of the open source AC3 filter from http://sourceforge.net/projects/ac3filter
4. Once installed, select the 'Use Waveout (Reboot Required)' from the AC3Filter program group.
5. Reboot.
6. Open the control panel and view it in classic mode. Double-click the 'AC3 Filter' icon.
7. In the Output section, Choose S/PDIF (the very last option) in the Speakers pull-down menu. Select OK.

8. Double-click the Speaker icon on the taskbar, if you have one. If you dont have one, enable it in the 'Sounds and Audio Devices' section of the control panel - then go back to this step.
9. Click on 'Advanced'.
10. Ensure 'S/PDIF-Out Enable' is checked.
11. Connect a phono cable between your EPIA and your amp. From here:

But, in one day, the course of George's life changes forever. He is fired from his job and diagnosed with a terminal illness. Given only four months to live, George vows to accomplish his lifelong dream of building his dream house. He recruits his son's begrudging help for the summer. Over the course of the next few months, George attempts to mend his long-suffering relationship with the brooding and intense 16-year-old as they tear down the ramshackle shack and rebuild a monument to his dreams. The much maligned eyesore is transformed. Meanwhile, next-door neighbor Colleen engages in some free-spirited activities of her own while her daughter Alyssa helps to brighten Sam's summer. Finally, it is Robin who begins to see a change in George and feels herself drawn back into the life of her longtime ex.
