Hi Peter > I am running Debian (testing) on a Gigabyte GA-K8N51PVMT-9 > motherboard with integrated Intel HDA Realtek ALC880 sound. I don't have ALC880 hardware - all my work has been done with the ALC260.

I know there's been a lot of work done on the ALC880 support code in recent months but whether that includes SPDIF functionality isn't something I can answer with any certainty. I'll try to give some broad comments though. > htpc:~# aplay -l > **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** > card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 0: ALC880 Analog [ALC880 Analog] > Subdevices: 1/1 > Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 This suggests there is only one playback device, and that would be the analog interface. Therefore by default at least it doesn't appear the SPDIF interface is made available. Are you using any options when loading the ALSA modules or do you just go with the defaults? I'll forward your email onto the ALSA developers mailing list for wider viewing. That way you may get some thoughts from the developers actually working on ALC880 code.
