how did you test spdif out?
I ran mpg123. With nvidia's nvaudio driver, sound came out of the analog outputs and out of the SPDIF output immediately.
With the alsa driver, sound came out of the analog outputs only. I can control the volume both with the "Master" slider and the "PCM" slider, as expected. No matter what combination of the IEC958 switches I set, there was light coming out of the SPDIF output, but no sound can be heard.
> you need to choose the PCM "spdif" (aka
"iec958") for the proper output over SPDIF.
You mean alsamixer's "Item: IEC958"? I did turn that on and off. No effect. Just to make sure I am not misunderstanding you, I am attaching my /etc/asound.state. With that state, I hear the PCM sound on the analog output, but not on the SPDIF output. If you'd like me to use different settings, please let me know and I'll test them immediately.
spdif input on ALC650 didn't work until this morning. i applied the patch from James to cvs, so now it should work (as long as sf's anon-cvs repository is properly mirrored).
OK, I will update to the latest CVS. But I guess there is no chance that loop-though will work before PCM output works, right?
Carsten.
