Did you check anything in this proc file codec setup I posted? As far as I can see on schematics for the MacBook (e.g.. google returned a APPLE_M42C_FA522_Macbook.pdf) the optical module RX output seems to be “directly" attached to the codec’s spdif-in pin. Yet on both, the MacBook as well on the MacBook Pro I found no way to get any digital input captured. The same setup works when booted in macOS, as well as when I plug in my digital audio source into my aging maudio delta 1010, with Linux, which, however, I do not want to continuously use for this setup, … It’s a pity, I don’t think there are so many other laptops with optical input :-/ René -- ExactCODE GmbH, Lietzenburger Str. 42, DE-10789 Berlin http://exactcode.com | http://exactscan.com | http://ocrkit.com | http://t2-project.org | http://rene.rebe.de _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list Alsa-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.alsa-project.org/mailman/listinfo/alsa-devel
