Suse 9.1 + nForce2 +S/PDIF output = No sound.
It seems I have tried everything. I have read as many messages on the subject as possible, Googled for 10 hours straight, and no matter what advice I follow I just can't get it to work.
I have a Shuttle SN41G2 with Realtek ALC650 (Soundstorm) onboard audio. I have Suse 9.1 installed with a dual boot alongside Windows, and the S/PDIF works very well under WinXP Pro so I know it's not a hardware issue. I really need some help getting this to work, because I'm anout to start pulling hair out or worse. It seems no matter what little tweak here and there I try I can never get so much as a peep out of the port. Suse recognizes the audip chip just fine. It even lists the IEC958 volume controls in ALSAMixer. It KNOWS, I think, that this chipset has an S/PDIF port but it just won't output to it. If anyone has any ideas, or if you have a checklist of things I need to go down to make sure everything's as it should be, I'd much appreciate it. |

Somewhat old thread. For somebody with a similar problem looking at this thread it is perhaps usefull to know that by me (Realtek ALC655 AC'97) s/pdif is muted the moment the IEC958 output volume control has not the value 0.
With IEC958 at value 0 the volume follows that of one of the DXS controls. Not that I understand... What passes over the digital output (stereo sound (PCM ?), Dolby Digital stereo, Dolby Digital 5.1, DTS) is apparently decided by the program that plays the DVD. |
