AD1888 sound driver mainly working but optical problems.

AD1888 sound driver mainly working but optical problems.

[novamail]

I have the AD1888 on the P4P800S working to some degree.  I have the alsa drivers and it reads the card as: SIS SI7012 and Chip as obviously AD1888.   All sound seems to come out the headphone port no problem, however the optical out is a bit more flaky.  I seem to have mplayer working via optical out as long as I have the following set in alsamixer:


IEC958 Playback Source:  AC-Linkv (A/D conv also works but often has a tinny sound to it)


IEC958 Playback AC97-SPSA: 0


However, when I go to play a wav file (using aplay or mplayer) something goes wrong and it automatically mutes the IEC958 item in alsamixer.  On my previous motherboard I remember there being an option to convert wav type audio to the optical jack without a problem,  is there some way I can still do that?


 


Thanks for everyones help on this driver.
