I need help to play optical-audio out from a pico-itx px10000g in a
Serener GS-L08 case (which has an optical-audio connector).
I connected a Klipsch 5:1 system to the pico case via a standard
optic-audio cable.
Then I tried aplay and play to send sound out the optic port, but have
had no success.
This is my first optic audio system, so maybe I'm missing something
simple.
I turned the volume on the Klipsch system up to +25, and in alsamixer
all levels where maxed.
In alsamixer, I notice there is no volume level change allowed for
IEC958, but there is a volume level bar for the other items (Master F,
PCM, Front, Line, Mic).
Example of what IEC958 looks like in alsamixer.

I can play sound through head phones attached to the front rca plug.
