I have no idea whether digital output should be turned on or off. It has
never been an issue before (up to Fedora 10 that is). Actually I don't even
know the mechanism for turning it off.

Using pavucontrol -> Configuration I see two lines both saying "internal
Audio". Do they refer to the two sound cards? And if so which is which?

In the tab "Output Devices" I also see two areas, the first named
"Simultaneous output or internal Audio" and the next "internal Audio". Which
devices do they relate to?

It's as if there is one solution only and hundreds of pitfalls, sigh.
