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

Tower. cable is connected correctly. spdif setting is enabled in bios and onboard.
