Ok that didn't work. I still have to go unmute it manually. |
ok can you post the full results to reply 13 commands
we are getting there! |

[jaison@coolermaster ~]$ amixer get IEC958 amixer: Unable to find simple control 'IEC958',0 [jaison@coolermaster ~]$ amixer set IEC958 unmute amixer: Unable to find simple control 'IEC958',0 |
ahhhh that helps not!
yes it looks like you have a poor range of amixer controls on first boot so we slow down if you have already used alsamixer.....pls don't use it to change anything------until we resolve the rc.local contents but you it to report on your spdif status........OK? so if need be, full reboot and as a local user we redo Code:
amixer -c0 cset iface=MIXER,name="IEC958 Default PCM Playback Switch" 1 sorry but this is going to take longer than I hoped what I am looking for spdif unmuted 2) now irrespective of alsamixer results close down alsamixer by pressing escape key issue second command Code:
amixer set IEC958 unmute and report each status of spdif and if optical works pls 3) I may need to read your alsa stuff again but I am dreading it---- the idea is what ever commands we can use to get spdif unmuted is what we will put into rc.local good luck |
Hi
is this a tower or a laptop? if its a laptop have you enabled spdif in bios? if its a tower, have you connected the motherboard connector to the spdif correctly? If its a tower, is spdif onboard the motherboard? ---in which case the bios might be the culprit as well I have just spotted that we have a phantom spdif in your alsa first post |
the other thing we need to eliminate as being an interfering config is your resultant asound.state file
can you find it and then post its contents pls Code:
sudo find / -name asound.state then as local user, ignore what I said above and enable all spdifs then save the config sudo alsactl store then check if it got timestamped if you do not have a recent timestamp.....we look at this more closely ok? Code:
sudo alsactl store I like easy solutions before hard ones ;) |
trivia
here is some of my contents so you know what I am looking for PLUS run alsamixer to see your spdifs are unmuted we have the same alsa version and notice the playbacks have value=true edit-----posting contents of my settings leads to display issues |
Appreciate your efforts.

Hi
1) I had to edit reply to remove my stuff as its causing web browser to have display issues can you do the same pls for your asound.state 2) sorry about this-----in my earlier questions I asked if spdif showed up in your alsamixer caputure command ---you correctly replied it did not but what I should have asked is my your first image for alsamixer card 0 did not show up any spdifs -----and the correct answer is You have to press F6 to get to change card.....DOH me----I have only just twigged what the real issue is! 3) so the amixer commands will not work at the moment because its attempting to use device 0 4) Since you use leafpad we re-start an dot file -----save as .asoundrc in your home folder pls you could have copied and pasted my earlier command but now I know you use leafpad here is the contents Quote:
5) log out and login back in should suffice to change the device run alsamixer (no extra bits) it must now show what you previously did by running alsamixer and pressing F6 ----if it does not take you straight to a mixer showing spdif controls then do a full reboot ################### easy solution one You must delete your rc.local file so no interference pls assuming you now see spdif then unmute them and then save them Code:
sudo alsactl store ############################ If easy solution does not work upon full reboot do not unmute spdifs but open a terminal and try out my amixer commands again and report and assuming we can use amixer commands to unmute we will design a rc.local to work good luck |

Hi
can you edit and delete all of your asound.state from reply 23 As a compromise, copy the file into your home folder rename it as asound-state.txt upload it to say dropbox and link to it my web browser can display the link instead of downloading it. b) when you do, I am more than happy to show my full file but that does not solve your sound issue Your sound issue is amixer controls. 2) this is messier than I hoped with the new .asoundrc file can you now link to the first image of alsamixer if that does not show spdif ---then don't link to but SAY SO and show the F6 screen shot pls 3) this confirms the problem you mentioned in reply 8 for your amixer controls/simple controls etc that is, amixer is not showing a control for spdif at first boot I will need to ponder this but I hope you don't lose patience. |
ok in case your eyesight is as bad as my brain giggles
I need to confirm that A) you have used root powers and deleted /etc/rc.local to reduce interfernence B) the name of the file is /home/jaison/.asoundrc Note the dot pls c) as amixer -c0 cset iface=MIXER,name="IEC958 Default PCM Playback Switch" 1 is a full set command and appears to work I will bodgee up a full set command for unmute but still want confirmation we are all on the same page ok? |

ohh shiite
you are running pulseaudio! master is normal actually the image should show pulseaudio damn pls delete that blinking /var/lib/alsa/asound.state quote/code box or I will get nasty ok....giggles plus I have to go out, plus I can't see your reply to my request for you to choose digital in your pulseaudio (I must learn to nail you down and get a confirmation on each request----giggles) go back to pavucontrol -click config tab and choose either digital or digital and analog ---instead of mucking about with restarting the pulse daemon just do a full reboot and see if you now have digital good luck |
