Hi all, I could not find an answer to this question, although I'm probably not the only one wanting to use S/PDIF-in on Linux on the Realtek ALC889A, Gigabyte MA69GM-S2H onboard sound. (Actually, I'm facing a similar problem in Windows XP.) I'm using snd-hda-intel, model "6stack-dig". It seems I can only record from my S/PDIF input. But no matter what I try, I just cannot hear the sound from my S/PDIF-In on my analog speaker set. In other words, I can record 10 seconds using: arecord -D iec958 -c2 -c 2 -d 10 -t wav -f cd test10s.wav But there's no way that I can hear it real-time trough the controls alsa(mixer) gives me. The only way I get some idea of what I'm recording is to feed the arecord output into aplay, which gives me sound with a 1 second delay (which of course is not an acceptable workaround). It seems there is just no existing route from IEC958-In to the analog outputs... Am I the only one having this problem?! Is there a trick that I can pull in my .asoundrc?
