I have a CMI8738 card with an optical connection to a receiver with an extra set of speakers hanging off of the analog jack. SPDIF is unmuted in alsamixer, but the best I've been able to do is sound out of the extra speakers by unmuting "In Monitor". This worked before (beautifully, I might added). Some of the details I have at hand are: ALSA version 1.0.23 aplay -l **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: CMI8738 [C-Media CMI8738], device 0: CMI8738-MC6 [C-Media PCI DAC/ADC] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 0: CMI8738 [C-Media CMI8738], device 1: CMI8738-MC6 [C-Media PCI 2nd DAC] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 0: CMI8738 [C-Media CMI8738], device 2: CMI8738-MC6 [C-Media PCI IEC958] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 My gut says I'm missing something obvious here.
