All,
First... I'm a newbie to the list... sorry if I'm not following proper
protocol. I CAN be taught.
I have a Diamond Multimedia Monster Sound MX400 soundcard. It runs
great with the automatically chosen snd-es1968 driver. This is also
the driver suggested on the ALSA Soundcard Matrix.
The problem...
This card has a coax/RCA SPDIF connector. I have used this for
passing AC3/DD/DTS sound via Windows drivers... but am unable to
figure out how to get Linux to recognize it exists. In my google
research I've found references to "IEC958" settings for ALSA. It
seems to be typical to see this within alsamixer. Unfortunately I am
not seeing this in my alsa mixer!? It is probably not relevant, but I
think it is interesting the driver is "es1968", but lspci shows it is
a "es1978". Perhaps this was a slight variation of the chipset, to
provide SPDIF support?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave
