>Would IEC 958 Output be the SPDIF output? How would I unmute it, as >well as make it stereo (or enable more channels...)? Yes, IEC 958 Output is the SPDIF output. And you can only switch it on/off by unmuting/muting it. So a mono control is enough. I don't know how to do this using amixer, but you could try alsamixer, the console based 'graphical' ALSA mixer tool. Hitting <space> you can select your input source and hitting <m> you can mute/unmute channels. And there are some other keys... :) Have a look at man alsamixer. -- GMX - Die Kommunikationsplattform im Internet. http://www.gmx.net ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: OSDN - Tired of that same old cell phone?
