I am running Debian etch, and I'm trying to get my onboard audio working. Specifically, I need to get the onboard digital S/PDIF output working (the onboard A/D converter is absolute crap, so I take the digital out and run it into a decent receiver).
The motherboard is an ECS nForce 570 SLIT-A (V5.1). It has a Realtek HD ALC883 onboard audio chipset. (I'm not sure if this has anything to do with digital output; I'm assuming it does.)
I've downloaded and installed the software from
this Realtek page, but it hasn't worked. When I double-click the (disabled) volume control icon in my Gnome desktop, I get the error message "No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found."
I don't know where to go from here or where to start. I'm not even sure how to tell for sure when it's installed and working properly.
Below, I've included the output from lspci and uname -r.
Thanks.
