Hello, I successfully installed, configured und run the Soundcard
Vendor: Trust (www.trust.com) Product: Sound Expert Digital Surround 5.1 (www.trust.com/12667) Chipset: CMI8738 Driver: cmipci Notes: (see below) so this device could be supplemented in the ALSA Soundcard Matrix. This soundcard has digital I/O IEC958 RCA Input/Output and TOSLINK Input/Output, however, I did not manage to get the Digital IN/OUT working - for this I am looking for any help or contacts, respectively. I searched the FAQ/HOWTO/man-pages (unfortunately the mailing list is not searchable) etc, but infos concerning digital in/out are quite abcent. Then I discovered the little note at the bottom of http://www.alsa-project.org/~goemon saying "NOTE: Just because an I/O is listed does NOT mean it is guaranteed to be supported. ..." and therefore, at this time I do not know anything definite in this regard. I viewed an email from a user who has the Zoltrix Nightingale (the same soundchip CMI8738) and from his message it appears that digital I/O should work, but who knows this reliably??? Do you know it??? If it is true that digital I/O is working with CMI8738-based soundcards, where do I get detailed infos how to set up and run it? My hardware setup is o.k. (I tested it with Win95 and successfully recorded from the optical SPDIF IN via TOSLINK cable connected to my CD-player, with SPDIF set to 5V and normal phase in the Win95 driver), so I see two possibilities: 1) digital I/O for CMI8738-based soundcards basically unsupported/broken 2) digital I/O for CMI8738-based soundcards is basically supported, but I have not the right driver setup/configuration etc. I'am using SuSE 7.3 (kernel 2.4.10), "cat /proc/asound/version" says 0.5.11, and "arecord -l" says: C-Media PCI CM8738: 1 [card1] / #0: C-Media PCI DAC/ADC Directions:
