Hello,
I build a HTPC from an old computer and installed Ubuntu 10.04LTS. I'm new to Linux and have spent a few weeks tracking down and fixing a few problems. At the moment I've exhausted my ideas as to why I have no S/PDIF output, so I thought I'd ask for some help..
I'm trying to use the onboard audio from my motherboard. I get sound from the analog output to my computer speakers, but when I connect the coaxial S/PDIF output to my amplifier I get no sound. I've tried removing and reinstalling ALSA, muting and unmuting outputs in ALSA, checked my amplifier settings and inputs, and probably a few other things I've forgotten. I also tried to follow the troubleshooting and howto guides to the best of my ability.
If there's anything else that you need me to include please let me know.
Here's a list of what I have:
OS: Ubuntu 10.04LTS
Motherboard: P4C800-Deluxe
Onboard Audio: SoundMAX AD1985 AC '97 audio CODEC supports 6-channel 5.1
CPU: P4 2.60GHz overclocked to 3.12GHz
Memory: 3gigs Dual DDR PC3200
GPU: GeForce 7800GS
HDD: 2, 160GB SATA HDD and 1TB SATA HDD
