Dear list,
I have an issue getting the optical connection on the Asus Xonar STX
working in my system.
The molex is connected, the card is found by the OS (Debian Wheezy),
and the modules are loaded.
I can see the device, and the alsamixer is available. In there, I
unmuted the spdif/tos channel already, however, when I try to play to
the tos connection using the aplay command, or VLC, I see no light at
all coming from the cable or the port.
The config (please disregard the USB, that one is working fine, but I
want to switch over to TOS):
aplay -l

My question: how do I play to the optical link so that I actually see
the light coming on?
thank you.
