Hi everybody,

I remember reading something about enabling the SPDIF output (pcm out) while using OSS. Unfortunately I couldn't find it anymore. I am on Ubuntu Lucid. The digital out of the (onboard) soundcard works when I use ALSA. However, when I switch to OSS it doesn't even output a sync signal. I know it can be enabled (probably in modprobe.d) but I don't know how exactly. Any ideas?

...and switching the digital out in ALSA mixer has no effect on OSS? I remember using it regardless of what sound system is in effect...

Unfortunately it's not working with ALSA either anymore. Strange! Leads me to believe that there might be a hardware problem with the board. I can't even get a digital sync signal out of the SPDIF anymore.

However, I used to have it working with ALSA and PD. Without changing anything but ALSA to OSS (within PD) the digital out stopped working with OSS and started working again when I set it back to ALSA.

Anyway, I'll have to figure out my hardware problem first before I can keep investigating. Thanks anyway, Andreas! I'll get back when it starts working again at all.
