You have been subscribed to a public bug: PulseAudion issue for Xonar SE. S/PDIF output is not used when output is configured to Digital Output SPDIF (IEC958). I assume it's incorrectly confused with analog audio output. Alsa digital output via TOSlink is ok, namely plughw:CARD=SoundCard,DEV=2 - works ok (audcious used to play it)
using > aplay -D plughw:1,2 Cymbal.wav is also OK ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 18.04 Package: alsa-base 1.0.25+dfsg-0ubuntu5 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.15.0-76.86-generic 4.15.18 Uname: Linux 4.15.0-76-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.9-0ubuntu7.9 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: rrrr 1661 F.... pulseaudio /dev/snd/pcmC1D2p: rrrr 9879 F...m audacious /dev/snd/controlC1: rrrr 1661 F.... pulseaudio rrrr 9879 F.... audacious CurrentDesktop: XFCE Date: Tue Feb 4 20:27:05 2020 InstallationDate: Installed on 2016-05-18 (1357 days ago) InstallationMedia: Xubuntu 16.04 LTS "Xenial Xerus" - Release amd64 (20160420.1) PackageArchitecture: all SourcePackage: alsa-driver Symptom: audio Symptom_AlsaPlaybackTest: ALSA playback test through plughw:SoundCard failed Symptom_Card: Xonar SoundCard - Xonar SoundCard Symptom_Type: Only some of outputs are working Title: [USB-Audio - Xonar SoundCard, playback] Playback problem UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) dmi.bios.date: 12/04/2015 dmi.bios.vendor: American Megatrends Inc. dmi.bios.version: F2 dmi.board.asset.tag: To be filled by O.E.M. dmi.board.name: N3150ND2H dmi.board.vendor: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. dmi.board.version: To be filled by O.E.M. dmi.chassis.asset.tag: To Be Filled By O.E.M. dmi.chassis.type: 1 dmi.chassis.vendor: To Be Filled By O.E.M. dmi.chassis.version: To Be Filled By O.E.M. dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnAmericanMegatrendsInc.:bvrF2:bd12/04/2015:svnGigabyteTechnologyCo.,Ltd.:pnTobefilledbyO.E.M.:pvrTobefilledbyO.E.M.:rvnGigabyteTechnologyCo.,Ltd.:rnN3150ND2H:rvrTobefilledbyO.E.M.:cvnToBeFilledByO.E.M.:ct1:cvrToBeFilledByO.E.M.: dmi.product.family: To be filled by O.E.M. dmi.product.name: To be filled by O.E.M. dmi.product.version: To be filled by O.E.M. dmi.sys.vendor: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. ** Affects: alsa-driver (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug bionic -- [USB-Audio - Xonar SoundCard, playback] Playback problem https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1861915 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to alsa-driver in Ubuntu. -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
