Looking at amixer, I can see: Simple mixer control 'IEC 958 Input',0 Capabilities: volume pswitch pswitch-joined Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right Limits: 0 - 32767 Mono: 32767 [100%] Front Left: Playback [off] Front Right: Playback [off] Simple mixer control 'IEC 958 Output',0 Capabilities: pswitch pswitch-joined Playback channels: Mono Mono: Playback [off] Would IEC 958 Output be the SPDIF output? How would I unmute it, as well as make it stereo (or enable more channels...)?
