I think the audio card is working. The problem is in the way the motherboard and case are wired. The front digital audio port traces to SPDIF_IN (pin 17 of the 18 pin "Front Audio Pin Connector"), which means this can only accept Optic-Digital-IN. The only SPDIF_OUT appears on pin 57 of the 80 pin "Multimedia Connector" (connector only ~20mm long), which is wried to nothing. I need to find a mate for the 80 pin "Multimedia Connector" and solder it to an fiber optic transmitter to get Optic-Digital-OUT. I'll beg Via for help in finding a plug to fit that connector.
