Title:
  Stereo through digital output fails

Status in Mythbuntu, Ubuntu derivative focused upon MythTV:
  Expired

Bug description:
  After operating Mythbuntu 8.10 for some time audio stops working for
  non-AC3 audio from MP3s and Firefox.

  TV audio works regardless but the tuner card was installed after the
  audio failed. After looking throughout the mythbuntu thread in
  www.ubuntuforums.org I found this thread
  (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=991219&highlight=digital+stereo).
  I used the fixed mentioned in that thread and it worked for me, MP3s
  now play. That fix is as follows:

  sudo mv /etc/init.d/alsa-utils /etc/init.d/alsa-utils.old
  "reboot"
  sudo mv /etc/init.d/alsa-utils.old /etc/init.d/alsa-utils
  alsamixer
  "Then reset the volume levels on your sound card as everything will be muted."
  sudo alsactl store

  I don't understand the problem and I cannot cause the failure on
  command but will have to wait for it to fail again.

  My audio card is:
