I am sorry to bring this topic up again since I've asked several questions about this card and the alsa drivers already but I'm still at a loss when it comes to enabling the digital in/out on this card and actually playing sound through this interface.
When I was asked to include my asound.state I assumed that this file was
created during startup (when the card is initialised). After removing the file,
because I thought it contained old values, I found out that it wasn't coming
back. After some digging I found out that there's a tool alsactl that creates
this file with info from the card itself.
I have recreated this file with this tool and I found the IEC958 Playback Switch.
With this switch I should be able to enable the digital out. After playing
around with this switch nothing seems to happen.
It seems that I need to switch a couple of bits around to enable this
interface I guess. Since I don't know the possible consequences of
changing some values in this file and writing it to the card I thought it would
be better to ask on this list.
So, could anyone tell me what values for which controls need to be changed
in order to enable the digital out?
Btw. My asound.state contains definitions for 2 cards. I also have an onboard soundcard which I rather not use.
