Re: [Alsa-user] S/PDIF snd-via82xx

I have been able to get this combo working, but weird intermittent things keep happening with it.

In the mixer you need to unmute the IEC958 output and set the IEC958 playback level to 0 - yes zero (any other value turns it off (is this normal for S/PDIF outputs on sound cards??)).

My problems are with stability and reliablity. Sometimes when I play through the S/PDIF it works flawlessly, other times it doesn't work at all, other times it will work for some (apparently random) amount of time and then stop working, other times it will stutter: switching between working and not, and a (very) few times it has locked my machine hard (reset button required).

To be fair I'm running on the very new VIA EPIA-M 9000 board, so I expected a few problems.

Anyone else seeing this?

Any workarounds to get S/PDIF working?

Steve
