Yes, I have tried this (it actually was the default setting) and it
doesn't make a difference.

I'm not sure what you mean!
I used to have windows 7 on my system, where the TOSLINK SPDIF worked
well. A couple of weeks a go I checked my receiver with a playstation
and this works, so the receiver isn't broken.
At the moment I'm using the internal speakers of my Dell. There are HDMI
outputs on the Dell, but my receiver hasn't got any of that. Only
optical and coaxial SPDIF (my computer only has the optical).

This is kind of annoying! When I open Pulse Audio Volume Control I can
select the Digital Stereo (IEC958) Output (Configuration) and the
Digital Output S/PDIF (Output Device). Then, when I "send audio" for
example, the volume meter on the Pulse Audio windows starts dancing, but
there is no sound coming from the speakers!

I can't seem to find the gstreamer-properties in any package (no
suggestion with apt). I think I have tried this on a older Mint
distribution.

I have tried this too!

Yes, well, I don't think Dell has device software. There is a driver
from the chip manufacturer, which I tried to install manually. I think
this is incorporated in alsa already.

Thanks for answering, have a good one!
