I have an ASUS M4A78T-E mot= herboard system, which has 7.1 channel HD Audio out using Via VT1708S chip,= (plus ATI HDMI out). I'm running Kubuntu Jaunty 9.04 with a custom 2.6.28.9 kernel. I am getting sound out the Line Out/Speaker Out jacks, but no sound through the Toslink S/PDIF Out jack. Th= e S/PDIF out channel does not show in aplay -L command output, and there is= no S/PDIF out slider in amixer. This is a dual-boot system and everything, including S/PDIF out, works fine= with WinXP. In linux, I'm running alsa version 1.0.19. I can post more inf= ormation if needed, but I think I have the right modules loaded, and I've t= ried various "model=3D" options for snd_hda_intel, so far none provide S/PD= IF out. My questions are .... can someone tell me if S/PDIF out is supposed to work= with this audio chip, and if so what do I need to do configuration-wise to= get it to work?=A0=A0 Thankyou ... =
