I've been trynig to get SPDIF sound working for many days now.
Whenever I play anything, no audio comes out of the spdif at all.
I am 100% certain it is not the receiver, or cables.
I've got 2.6.10 kernel (gentoo), but alsa is not compilied into it.
Instead I have alsa-lib 1.0.7 modules installed.
At the bottom of this message is the output from 'aadebug'
alsamixer clearly has an 'IEC958' section, which is turned on.
I made the necessary changes to /etc/modules.d/alsa to enable digital.
I've tried so many things, if I am unable to get optical audio out working,
then I will need to install windows.
iecset shows:
Mode: consumer
Data: non-audio
Rate: 48000 Hz
Copyright: protected
Emphasis: none
Category: PCM coder
Original: original
Clock: 1000 ppm
I've tried doing 'iecset audio on' too, which changes Data to 'audio' but still nothing is outputted.
I've tried numerous apps to output to SPDIF.
Including:
aplay -D digital english.au
mplayer -ao alsa:device=hw#0.2 -ac hwac3, -srate 4800 soundfile.mp3
(And lots of variations of the alsa: command)
Even tried ogle with it configured in it's .oglerc to use iec958, but no luck
Could anyone here help me?
