Hi Floris, I think I've solved the mystery: the extra bits that were different in the asound.state were the iec958 audio/non-audio bits. If I run "iecset" with the working asound.state, I get this output: > Mode: consumer > Data: audio > Rate: 48000 Hz > Copyright: permitted > Emphasis: none > C

edit: This is confusing to me, since even though this output option works in mplayer, according to the output of "aplay -l" and "aplay -L" I don't appear to have a alsa iec958 or spidif device (see my first email). Is there somewhere else I should look at to get a list of output devices? also try

I know the mplayer option "-ao alsa:device=spdif -afm hwac3" has always works perfect, because I made a script to run my dvd's and I have never any trouble with it.

I have the same problems with the Creative Audigy 2 using Debian testing my "solution" is to deselect "IEC958 Optical Raw" and "Audigy Analog/Digital Output Jack" options in the alsamixer. I will look to the asound.state if there is the same difference. Floris Kyle Husmann schreef: > Hi, > > W

Hi, With a fresh ubuntu 8.10 install, spdif output worked as expected. I unmuted both IEC958 and IEC958 Digital in alsamixer, and when I played audio with mplayer, I would get audio through my spdif output. Then, fast forward a couple of days, and it randomly stopped working (I have no idea what
