Hello Takashi, Running amixer -c0 cset iface=mixer,name='IEC958 Playback Switch',index=16 off turns off the SPDIF light. If I may ask, with this model, the primary sound card shows up as the ALC1120: cat /proc/asound/car*/co* | grep Codec Codec: Realtek ALC1220 Codec: Intel Kabylake HDMI Codec: Nvidia GPU 83 HDMI/DP Would a model override via: options snd-hda-intel model={model_name} in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf using a model name from https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git/tree/Documentation/sound/hd-audio/models.rst be applied to work around the issue above? Also, does turning off the SPDIF light as shown above disable SDPIF output? Regards, Dennis.
