I've just bought a S/PDIF header for my Gigabyte mobo and am having trouble getting any sound out of it.

If I put the old analogue connection back in from the sound card to the receiver then I can get sound again, but I want to get this working so I can get Dolby from MythDVD. Does anyone know where I'm going wrong here?
I can't help with the .asoundrc file, I play with that when I feel like getting frustrated.
One thing to check is that your receiver is looking for SPDIF on the port you are using. Do you have another SPDIF device you could test with? Turns out my receiver had menus I had never seen before, that would set the input for a given source to (ANALOG/DIGITAL/AUTO-SELECT), and I had spent quite a bit of time trying to get it to play from SPDIF when it was in ANALOG mode, before I found that menu. I was even using a coax to toslink adapter, giving me one more thing to wrongly suspect of breakage.
Probably not your problem, but maybe worth mentioning... -Michael
