Fantastic, congrats.

Yes, that is a common issue, every card uses a different ak411X input :)
Great you found it.

That is actually quite common  too :) Please take a look at the initial
comment section of prodigy192.c where I describe the setup I had to
figure out experimentally. You will have to play with OCKS0/1 of ak4114
(initial chip config in ap192_ak4114_init). Should you not be able to
find the right combination suitable for all incoming samplerates, you
can play with  VT1724_MT_I2S_MCLK_128X of ice1724 (default defined in
ice1724.c:stdclock_set_spdif_clock , can be overriden in
ice->set_spdif_clock for the ap192).

Good catch. Would the FSx registers provide correct info, or
interpretation of the RX Channel status bytes will have to implemented
into ak4114.c:snd_ak4114_rate_get?

Back to the light indicating "sync source" in the windows driver. I
think it is reading status of GPIO06 as you reported "INT0 (pin36) --
GPIO6 pin 58". It would be possible to add a new read-only control for
sync source to revo.c for ap192. It might be useful. Of course a generic
method for ak4114.c would be more suitable but we would have to abstract
the reading method.

Thanks a lot for your effort.

Best regards,

Pavel.
