Ignore my last post. I got it thanks.

For the benefit of others:

1. Selected All views by pressing F5
2. Moved to S/PDIF-i (had MM under it)
3. Pressed 'M' to un-mute the input.

Hi Thor thanks for the reply.

Would you be able to give me a bit more info on how to use the SPDIF input? I'm not having much luck. Here's what I tried:

$ cat /proc/asound/devices
  2:        : timer
  3:        : sequencer
  4: [ 0- 4]: digital audio playback
  5: [ 0- 3]: digital audio playback
  6: [ 0- 2]: digital audio playback
  7: [ 0- 1]: digital audio playback
  8: [ 0- 0]: digital audio playback
  9: [ 0- 0]: digital audio capture
 10: [ 0]   : control
 11: [ 1- 0]: raw midi
 12: [ 1]   : control

$ arecord -D hw:0,0 -r44100 -d 10 test.wav

test.wav was blank.

What did you mean by "the mixer control muted"? Is it the gains you see in alsamixer? The mic gain was 0/100 which I set to 100/100 with no luck.

Thanks again.

The SPDIF input actually works.  The problem is that it isn't possible
to do capture with that mixer control muted, becuase muting the control
also turns off capture.  See my post about a month ago for more
information about this issue.  For some applications this bug may not
matter much, but it makes the X-Fi Titanium unusable for real-time audio
processing applications.
