Try spdif instead of hw:0,1.

Indeed, yes, this has helped.  Thanks.  I was somehow under the
impression that spdif was merely an alias for the digital device, but I
now see I was mistaken.

I've been running into some intermittent flakiness with AC3 passthrough.
After a reboot, I could play PCM via spdif, but AC3 passthrough didn't
work.  I unloaded and reloaded the snd_hda_intel module, and AC3
passthrough worked fine, and so did PCM, until after playing PCM I tried
to passthrough AC3 again and, again, no sound.

Then I did the perfectly obvious thing of setting the IEC958 mixer
setting to mute and things have at least so far been stable, toggling
between PCM and AC3 content, even following a reboot.  (The muting could
well be a complete red herring, mind you.)  It still feels quite
volatile and like it will break at any moment.

If anyone has any ideas or advice, I'd be grateful.  Meanwhile I'll try
to find a way to reliably reproduce the problem.

Thanks,
Jason.

[Alsa-user] SPDIF not working with AD1989B (Asus P5Q-E motherboard)

2008-09-24 Thread Jason Tackaberry 
Hi,

I recently built a system with an Asus P5Q-E motherboard, whose product
specifications indicate the audio chipset is ADI AD2000B, and which ALSA
says is AD1989B.  The driver is snd_hda_intel.  (I am not passing any
module options; passing model=6stack-dig seems to have no effect.)

The analog outputs work, but I am unable to get anything output over
SPDIF, either via the optical or coaxial outputs.

I was originally using 2.6.27-rc5 from kernel.org, and noticed that the
optical output wasn't being enabled at all.  I upgraded to the
alsa-kernel branch (git clone last night), and some minor progress: the
optical port is enabled and there be light.  Nevertheless, no sound
(even after desperately cranking each mixer control to 100%.)

I am testing with mplayer, and ensuring the digital device (as shown by
aplay -l) is being used.  In my case it's device 1, and I am specifying
-ao alsa:device=hw=0.1 on the mplayer command line.  I have tried
passthrough (AC3 content, with -ac hwac3) and non-passthrough (MP3).  In
either case, my A/V receiver shows no indication it is receiving a
digital stream.  (My previous motherboard did work fine with SPDIF, and
my receiver has a digital indicator when I played anything, which does
not light when playing the above.)

System info included as attachments.  Please let me know if additional
information is needed.  Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks much,
Jason.
