[alsa-devel] S/PDIF on NVidia CK804 not working
Hi all,
I am new to the list and was hoping that someone here could give me some help and advise as I am stuck and none of my research has turned anything up.
I am having trouble getting any sound out of the S/PDIF port on my built-in sound card. The card is recognized and 'aplay -L' shows the iec958 device (as evident by the attached alsa-info.txt file) but when I try to play any sound through it (using aplay) I get one of two errors:
1. If I use the iec958 device directly: $ aplay -D iec958 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav Playing WAVE '/usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 48000 Hz, Mono aplay: set_params:984: Channels count non available
2. If I try to use the plug:iec958: $ aplay -D plug:iec958 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav Playing WAVE '/usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 48000 Hz, Mono (the sound file seems to play but there is no audio coming out of the receiver)
Looking through the ALSA website, I see that my sound device is supported. Configuring /etc/asound.conf and /etc/modprobe.conf as per the ALSA website yields the same results as above.
Can anyone please, help me get my S/PDIF working? Thank you very much!

Can you check if there are any mixer controls or switches which have any effect?

I've tried all I can think of: muting, unmuting of the iec958 device, increasing the volume of the device, increasing the volume of the Master and PCM, etc. Nothing changes.

Anybody have any suggestions? I am really stuck and nothing that I've tried has produced any sound out of the optical port.
