Hi, I have an onboard sound card which has an SPDIF output via motherboard header that I cannot get Pulseaudio to detect and manage. ALSA sees it, (https://i.imgur.com/p4TdEAl.png) and it works fine under Windows 10, though for some reason PA does not and instead lists a Digital HDMI Profile on the card (in pavucontrol) when there is no HDMI connector on the motherboard. I have tried all the troubleshooting steps on the Arch linux wiki and then some: https://termbin.com/w9do alsa-info.sh log: http://alsa-project.org/db/?f=d4b7b6cbf6b3b83cc42cc209a38a62b598332b6b The card name is (alsa_card.pci-0000_00_1b.0) and 'aplay -l' lists it as a VT1828S chip using the snd_hda_intel kmod. If I try to manually add it with 'set-card-profile', PA fails to start. Looking at termbin log, under "!!HDA-Intel Codec information" it shows: Node 0x0d [Vendor Defined Widget] wcaps 0xf00000: Mono Node 0x0e [Audio Output] wcaps 0x611: Stereo Digital Control: name="IEC958 Playback Con Mask", index=0, device=0 Control: name="IEC958 Playback Pro Mask", index=0, device=0 Control: name="IEC958 Playback Default", index=0, device=0 Control: name="IEC958 Playback Switch", index=0, device=0 Control: name="IEC958 Default PCM Playback Switch", index=0, device=0 Device: name="VT1828S Digital", type="HDMI", device=3 Converter: stream=5, channel=0 Digital: Enabled GenLevel Digital category: 0x2 IEC Coding Type: 0x0 PCM: rates [0x5e0]: 44100 48000 88200 96000 192000 bits [0xe]: 16 20 24 formats [0x1]: PCM Power states: D0 D1 D2 D3 Power: setting=D0, actual=D0 Node 0x0f [Audio Output] wcaps 0x611: Stereo Digital Converter: stream=5, channel=0 Digital: Enabled GenLevel Digital category: 0x2 IEC Coding Type: 0x0 PCM: rates [0x5e0]: 44100 48000 88200 96000 192000 bits [0xe]: 16 20 24 formats [0x1]: PCM Power states: D0 D1 D2 D3 Power: setting=D0, actual=D0 I had managed to get this working a long time ago based on some tips from #archlinux, but since it was a bit buggy, I stuck with the analog line out and did not save that config sadly. It was definitely on a 4.x kernel if that makes any difference. What am I missing here?
