Hi.
The current snd-hda-intel/snd_hda_codec_realtek combo in the Linux kernel
does not appear to enable the S/PDIF (toslink, iec958) port on Intel's Hades
Canyon NUC. None of the current models/quirks changes this. To my knowledge.
(The physical port in question is a minijack/mini toslink combo port.)
I have found a number of people having the same issue with S/PDIF under
Linux, on this particular hardware. None of these people reporting being
able to find a solution, apart from a warm reboot into Linux from Windows.
Until ...

So. cyber4o claims the BIOS is wrong, and came up with the patch=
solution first, then a modification to sound/pci/hda/patch_realtek.c
to avoid having to boot to windows first. (IIUIC). I have been able to
employ this solution and get the optical output enabled.
I have (until now) used model=dell-headset-multi to enable my headphones
with (on-wire) microphone in the front jack. (Kudos to arch-linux docs)
The suggested fix for the missing optical out didn't cover headset config,
so some modifications were needed. I'll freely admit to have very limited
knowledge of what I am doing. Monkey see, monkey do.
Anyways: I took cyber4o's solution and chained in the dell-headset-multi
fixup. I now have optical output, my headset and on-wire microphone works.
My current patch is below, and is purely intended as an illustration of
how to make this work.
I would be very happy if someone with an actual clue took the
patch below and beat it into shape acceptable for inclusion in the kernel.
Reading the forum post above may be wise, in case I have missed something.
Some things which still make me scratch my head:
- There is a slider named 'Digital' in the 'Capture' tab of alsamixer.
Not sure what it does.
- 'Headset Mic Boost', 'Headphone Mic Boost', 'Internal Mic Boost',
'Internal Mic Boost 1' all appear in *both* the 'Playback' *and*
'Capture' tabs of alsamixer. Is this on purpose? Bug in alsamixer?
- There is no 'Headset' output slider in the 'Playback' tab. I do have
'Headphone' and 'Line out', though. And Mic boost for both headset and
headphone. Not a problem, just ... 'asymmetrical'?
- Marketing materials name the jack in the rear as
'Stereo headphones/TOSLINK combo rear jack'. Can we pretend it doesn't
support a microphone (no idea...), and just name it (the copper
bits) Line-Out? Less confusion? Again, really no clue about where these
strings come from or what the 'correct' action is.
- Inserting the jack in the front does not automatically mute the (optical)
output in the back. Independent of the Auto-Mute state. Unsure if this
is a corner case not covered by current code or not. Auto-mute only
offers Enabled/Disabled here. (And not 'Disabled', 'Speaker Only' and
'Line-Out+Speaker'. I propose to mute S/PDIF together with Line Out.)
