Creative Labs SB Audigy S/PDIF output [SOLVED]

  • Quote

Post by anonybosh » Fri Dec 17, 2010 7:54 pm

I'm having trouble getting the S/PDIF output working with this card:

Code: Select all

01:07.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB Audigy (rev 03)
I've tried mixing many different combinations of muting/unmuting channels and such, but nothing seems to work for it. Does anyone out there have it working? If so, how did you do it?
As a side note, regular audio seems to work just fine.

Code: Select all

Oh, and I'm using the "Digital Out" jack on the back of the card (outside).

Ok, so I figured it out. It ended up not really being an alsamixer arrangement problem, rather I just needed to tell mplayer to output to the right card!

Code: Select all

$  /usr/bin/mplayer `music stream` -ao alsa:device=hw=1
And the volumes that work:

Code: Select all

$ amixer -c 1
