Greetings. I've been trying for several days now to get the internal
spdif working and am posting here as a last resort in hopes someone
will know what's wrong. I'll post system details at the end.
My mainboard has 3 1/8" plugs on the back and an internal spdif_out
connector. If I plug say headphones into the green connector on the
back, I hear sound in them. I don't actually want to use analog sound
at all. Instead I've plugged the internal spdif_out+ground into my
video cards spdif input. Then I have the dvi output from the video
card going to an hdmi input on my tv. Note, I have the same setup
(except for different mainboard) in another box and have used it to
test the video card, which worked fine. The problem is spdif doesn't
seem to be working at all. I've eliminated everything else down to
either a problem in alsa somewhere, or possibly my xine settings
(though I doubt it since I used the same settings from my working
box). For alsa I've tried loading the snd_hda_intel driver with
"model=3stack", "model=3stack position_fix=1", and "model=3stack
position_fix=1 enable_msi=1". None of these worked, I still get
nothing on spdif out. I've also tried (un)muting tons of combinations
in alsamixer.
Could the problem be my kernel version? Alsa version? libasound?
Any ideas at all guys?? Any and all help is GREATLY appreciated!
Best regards,
Derek
System details:
Please note there is no desktop/windows manager. There is also no
keyboard/mouse plugged in. This box is a dedicated htpc running VDR
and connected directly to a tv. I'm using PuTTy SSH from my Windows
desktop for maintenance.
