[alsa-devel] Alsa support for conexant
I have a Lenovo Thinkpad T400 with a mini dock which has SPDIF output. It is running Debian Squeeze.
When I run alsamixer, I can see the soundcard detected is: Conexant CX20561
When I run aplay -l:
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: CONEXANT Analog [CONEXANT Analog] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 1: Conexant Digital [Conexant Digital] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
However, I can't get it to output through SPDIF. I tried: aplay -Dplug:iec958 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav = no sound
I tried: pcm.!default { type plug slave { pcm "front:CARD=Intel" } }
(restarted alsautils), it still doesn't work.
I tried adding: options snd-hda-intel model=lenovo-x200 options snd-hda-intel model=lenovo options snd-hda-intel model=laptop options snd-hda-intel model=thinkpad and then alsa force reload None of these work.
Is there anyway I can get it to output through SPDIF? My other computer that has SPDIF outputs fine using the custom asound.conf so why isn't it working for the lenovo? BTW, I confirmed the SPDIF is not defective by booting into Windows and testing it.

Can you check if the SPDIF pin is actually enabled (look at /proc/asound/cardxx/codec#xx) as OUT. I had a similar problem a long time ago on a Lenovo W500, enabling the pin with a one-line verb for the connexant 5051 solved the problem.
Thanks for the response,
I did cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#0
and got the following output: (I have bolded the relevant information)

It looks like it is already enabled and set to OUT.
How do I enable the pin with a one line verb? Do I write option connexant 5051 to modprobe.d/alsabase.conf?
