Hi Thor thanks for the reply.

Would you be able to give me a bit more info on how to use the SPDIF input?
I'm not having much luck. Here's what I tried:

$ cat /proc/asound/devices
  2:        : timer
  3:        : sequencer
  4: [ 0- 4]: digital audio playback
  5: [ 0- 3]: digital audio playback
  6: [ 0- 2]: digital audio playback
  7: [ 0- 1]: digital audio playback
  8: [ 0- 0]: digital audio playback
  9: [ 0- 0]: digital audio capture
 10: [ 0]   : control
 11: [ 1- 0]: raw midi
 12: [ 1]   : control

$ arecord -D hw:0,0 -r44100 -d 10 test.wav

test.wav was blank.

What did you mean by "the mixer control muted"? Is it the gains you see in
alsamixer? The mic gain was 0/100 which I set to 100/100 with no luck.

Thanks again.
