No it is not. The light switches on as soon as you start playing sound. As long as you are not playing, there is no light. best, Hendrik-Jan 2013/9/2 Clemens Ladisch : > Hendrik-Jan Heins wrote: >> ok, issue solved: I installed a new card today (RMA procedure), >> switched spdif on, and that was

I was thinking the same... in my 5 days of silence I returned the card and received a new one. I will try again today. Thank you for the pointers Rene, i will try aplay only as that seems to be the best way to get this clear. I will keep you all posted. best, Hendrik-Jan 2013/9/1 Clemens Lad

Even though my hardware is completely different I will point out this thing anyway, maybe it helps. USB Audio and Asus Xonar Essence One. VLC player and 44Khz files (flac, mp3, wav). The problem is that with VLC in play the Xonar does not turn on the LED which indicates the frequency, therefore do
