Well, my question is what test you did actually.
Oh. Until recently plugging my speakers (analog, not S/PDIF connector) into the audio out of my Dell Docking station worked, now after connecting the speakers to the audio out it seems like the sound is muted. I'm using a default Ubuntu 7.04 config (without any .asoundrc), audio apps would be rhythmbox (gstreamer), mplayer, totem (xine). Kernel in question is latest -rc (2.6.21-rc4/5).
Hm, do you mean that output from SPDIF pcm works for the output on docking station?
yes, it works for the non-spdif audio outlet. I do not have any S/PDIF-enabled speaker system around, so I can't test that.
Still wondering why setting AC97-SPSA to 0 doesn't work in this case. Try the following:
- plug to the analog output on docking station - set "IEC958 Playback AC97-SPSA" to zero via alsamixer or whatever - set "IEC958 Playback Switch" on - run % aplay -Ddefault foo.wav
