Hi, After some investigation on how to make the optical iec958 output work on my CMEDIA based usb DAC, I finally found a solution : a profile-set has to be added for this device. Added to udev 90-pulseaudio.rules : ATTRS{idVendor}=="147a", ATTRS{idProduct}=="e055", ENV{PULSE_PROFILE_SET}="cmedia-high-speed-true-hdaudio.conf" Added profile set /usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/profile-sets/cmedia-high-speed-true-hdaudio.conf (only specific part below) : ----------(default)------------ [Mapping iec958-stereo] device-strings = hw:%f,2 channel-map = left,right paths-input = iec958-stereo-input paths-output = iec958-stereo-output priority = 5 ----------(default)------------ I hope this profile-set will be added to pulseaudio. All the best JP -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
