I have been playing with FC4 a couple of months now just learning and
playing. Something I wanted to tackle was getting spdif optical output
on my MOBO working so I can run Myth.

I hooked up an coax optical cable from my on-board sound to my
receiver and I followed the instructions at :

<http://www.mythtv.info/moin.cgi/DigitalSoundHowTo>
I had a hard time getting the nForce4 audio to work. After searching
online for a while I was able to find other people that selected OSS
in the KDE Sound Control Center. Then after locking the frequency to
48k I was about to get the optical port on the mobo to light up.
On the HOW TO there is a link for a test .au file. I downloaded that
file and if I double click it it opens the default audio player. I
can't remember the name of it, but I believe it starts with "a" and is
only 4 or 5 letters long. (I couldn't find a default package list for
FC4 online to try to remember what the name is.) It plays just fine if
I just play the audio file that way.
...
Following the instructions on the HOWTO I test the audio output with
"aplay -D digital /mythtv/Desktop/english.au"
It reports that it is playing the audio file and goes back to a
prompt, but I don't hear anything. I have also tried "mixed-digital"
as the device but still no audio.
However if I just double click the .au file, it plays in the default
player just fine.
Also "ALSA:default" or "ALSA:hw:0,2" as the device doesn't produce
sound either.
The same thing happens with MythMusic, if I put "ALSA:digital" for the
sound device for MythMusic the visualization start and the time
counter starts, but no sound...
Sounds like you have some sort of sound server running...
