Last line specifies the current settings. The mixer control IEC958 (which is the digital audio standard in use in the "western" world) is set to "on" for the "Playback" stream direction, and to "off" for the "Capture" stream direction. > > If alsamixer doesn't provide the according settings, you might want to > > use "amixer sset <control> <value>", see "man amixer" for synopsis and > > examples. > > > > I really guess it's due to one of the IEC958 (i.e. digital in/out) > > settings. > > I am extremly confused. How should those be set? > I'm not that able to parse the amixer output, probably, so let me know > more deeply. first try setting the control 'IEC958' to "off" for the "Playback" direction: $ amixer sset 'IEC958',0 playback off if that doesn't work out well, try the settings - 'IEC958 Playback AC97-SPSA',0 (can be set to values ranging between 0-3) - 'IEC958 Playback Source',0 (can be set to values 'Analog' or 'Digital') for those two, the option "playback" is optional, since according to the output you have given, those controls are only present for the "playback" direction. I think those controls might be in alsamixer, too, but amixer tends to be the most reliable and supportable method -- the output you have given is complete, so that I can at least tell that all the "usual" settings seem to be correct. I think the problem is hidden in those extended settings. I might be wrong and it might just be a bug in the driver, but somehow I doubt that -- although my doubts are not supported by any obvious hints, yet. -hwh -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
