Hi Bernhard, Thanks for the reply. I've taken your advice and updated the Kernel to 3.6.6 I've also reinstalled the latest v310 Nvidia Drivers, checked the physical connection of my S/PDIF header and retested digital out sound. Unfortunately still no luck. Still only the onboard analog and digital devices, and no digital success, analog still works. Any more suggestions?
