Hello Lee,
thanks for the quick reply.
The nature of the problem is, in a nutshell, i don't hear any sound (although
the connected cd-player gives output). I verified that my hardware setup works
using another OS, where things worked flawlessly. So I suppose I should hear
sound.
I played around with alsa-mixer. Interesting options where
- IEC958 Playback AC97-SPSA Capture (which is set to maximum)
- IEC958 Playback AC97-SPSA (which is set to maximum)
- ICE958 (which is set to PCM)
Is there any other option in alsa-mixer that i should take a look at?
And some information, that alsa is willing to provide on my sound-system:
schenk > cat /proc/asound/cards
0 [V8237 ]: VIA8237 - VIA 8237
VIA 8237 with ALC658D at 0xd800, irq 17
schenk > cat /proc/asound/devices
17: [0- 1]: digital audio playback
25: [0- 1]: digital audio capture
16: [0- 0]: digital audio playback
24: [0- 0]: digital audio capture
0: [0- 0]: ctl
33: : timer
Hopefully these informations were helpful to go ahead?!
Best regards,
Franz
