Another update: I got SPDIF working by using these /etc/modprobe.conf options
Code:
# --- BEGIN: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. ---
# --- ALSACONF version 1.0.10rc3 ---
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel
options snd-hda-intel model="5stack-digout"
# --- END: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. ---
I also managed to compile the 1.0.10rc3 version of the alsa-utils; apparently there some issues with FC3 and FC4 which prevent the alsa-utils from compiling (it can't find the alsa-libs); This is what I missed in the INSTALL file included with alsa-lib (I didn't RTFM
)
Code:
* Install path on Fedora Core 3
FC3 installs its system ALSA library to /lib instead of /usr/lib.
Specify --libdir=/lib to configure to overwrite it with the new library,
or run like
# ln -sf /usr/lib/libasound.so.2.0.0 /lib/libasound.so.2.0.0
to make symlink to the new path.
Note that /lib might be /lib64 on 64bit architecture.
