Dear all, Does anyone know if there is a problem with Alsa with my particular hardware configuration? It is so silly to see the VU-Meters in the Pulse-Audio Volume Control tool reacting on sound and have set the output to SPDIF, but hearing no sound (or even get a signal) on the receiver. The receiver isn't particularly new, but supports DTS. Any suggestion? Thanks a bunch! M. On 08/08/2016 09:51 PM, marve wrote: > Dear all, > > Still haven't been able to get sound through S/PDIF.
